James Douglas and his twin brother John Douglas were born on 30 November 1841, the eldest of the seven children children of William Douglas (abt.1799-1861) and Susan Gantlett (1813-1865) although William is believed to have had a previous son with Lidia Parrot in 1824.
He was born a few months too late to appear in the 1841 census, but appears in the censuses of 1851, 1861, 1871,1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911.
