Their family immigrated to America about 1870. Their family lived and farmed in South Cottonwood, Salt Lake, Utah; in 1880, she was living there with her parents and her infant son, Byron.[2]
All of these siblings appear to belong to another John James and his wife, Elizabeth. Needs more research. Unable to find a GRO birth registration for a female born between 1858-1872 with last name of James and mother's maiden name of Firkins. There was a Matilda Annie Firkins born in Q3 of 1861 in Herefordshire. Needs more research.Orvis-372 23:34, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
