On the night of 30 March 1851 James was living with his family at Hay Cross, Woodchurch, Canterbury, Kent. He was 31, a farm bailiff, and was listed as being born in Bonnington in Kent.

With him was his wife Eliza, and children William (5, Kingsnorth), James W. (4, Kingsnorth), Ellen (2, Mersham) and Eliza (1, Warehorn).
