Hi Dot
The following is what I have made a written in my book I am doing for the grandchildren with regards to the marriage you mentioned:
Me thinking alound:
I DON'T THINK THIS IS MY ANCESTRY
December 1877 James Jenkins age 20, bachelor, occupation Mason of 49 Rosalind Street, father Joseph Jenkins, Mason, married Elizabeth Hutchings age 18, spinster of 49 Rosalind Street, father William Hutchings, Labourer. They were married after Banns and witnessed by John and Caroline Cantelin. The marriage took place at St Paul, Kirkdale, Liverpool, Lancashire, UK - but they emigrated to USA and were both born in Cornwall.
Could it be possible that James was the son of James b.1857 and Eliz Hutchings b.1859 m. 1877 in Liverpool and they left him when they emigrated to America - James in 1886 and Eliz in 1887!!!!! Only first child being shown on Wayne Stauffer’s tree - Alice Maud was born in Cornwall 1880 - There does seem to be a gap between their Marriage, and first born which in those days was unusual - plus why marry in Liverpool ??
With regards to the other James snr's and their sons James - it does seem very strange that two families living in Liverpool, both married to someone called Elizabeth, both these families having children with the same names (different Addresses), then one has a girl called Margaret and the other a girl named Mary J - but there are no marriages that I can find for either of these families.
Regards
Alex
