Hi Isabelle
James’ age varies in the census records. For that period of time we can only access a baptism for him there are no birth certificates as this was before registration. I’ve already posted a link to James’ baptism in the Isle of Man and his 1851 IOM census entry agrees with it. He was born in 1850 on the Isle of Man. Copy and paste this into your browser to view the baptism:-
