Notes

---

General:

IGI and his marriage certificate to Sarah Holman both give his father as Jonathan Deacon. If James is 1790 then his father should be c 1765. This doesn't fit any of our known Jonathans. 1840 Louisa's birth certificate says he is a grazier. 1841 census shows a son called Joseph who matches the Joseph born to James and Elizabeth Turnall. 1841 census has James Deacon, age 50, living Great Deacon, grazier with Ann Deacon, age 40 (correct age for Sarah Holman/Deacon), Joseph Deacon, age 20, carpenter (correct name and age to be the Joseph born to James Deacon and Elizabeth Turnall, qv), Louisa Deacon, age 6 months and George Shipley, age 6 (presumably George Deacon Shipley, born 1835). If all this is correct then this James and James (23 Feb 1790) who fathered Mary Ann are one and the same guy. He couldn't write. Louisa's birth certificate has 'X his mark' for 'Father's Signature'
