forgot to add - the claim that James is bapt in Kk Malew is not borne out by in the IGI any record derived from the Parish Reg (tho I havn't looke at Malew Reg for this year) - all IGI entries (most nonsensical in terms of spelling/parish attributions) are patron submitted - there is even one giving the Daniel above an 'abt' christening in Malew
My guess is that he and family were Irish - may well have 'converted' to mormonism to get a free emigration - strange that son was left behind and only joined then nearly 20 years later.
