 | Halse Parish Record of Joseph James' Birth
Birth of Joseph James (Jury) on 26 Feb 1830, father of JHJ.
The Halse Parish register has this entry on the bottom of the left hand page (see blowup below). At the top the book says, "The Baptisms solemized in the Parish of Halse in the years 1829-30". The last entry says,
Col 1. "Apr 4 Born February 26 No. 208". Meaning the entry was made on April 4th for a birth 26 Feb 1830.
Col 2. "Joseph Jury base child of". Meaning the child named Joseph Jury was born out of wedlock. Notice his given name was Jury but since he was raised by his mother then later his grandparents he assumed their surname and was known as Joseph James. Hence we enter his name as Joseph James (Jury).
Col 3 & 4. "Mary James by Joseph Jury". Giving the names of the mother and father. If you look at the entry for Joseph Jury you can see why sometime somewhere they recorded his name as Joseph L. Jury. Of course on a careful look it is plainly Joseph Jury. Also at that time it was uncommon for folks of their status to have two given names.
Col 5, 6 & 7. These are labeled as "Abode", "Quality, Trade or Profession", and "By whom the Ceremony was performed". The entries are "Halse", "Labourer", and "?".

 | 1851 England Census with Joseph James
This census shows Joseph living with his grandmother and step-relatives. It says he was born at Halse and was a farm labourer at the time. Ancestry.com listed him as Joseph Jerry James, but I think it is pretty ovious that it is Joseph Jury James. |

 | 1841 England Census with Joseph Jury?
This is a census that records the workers at the Taunton Union Workhouse. Taunton is near to Halse, and it isn't unlikely that Joseph went to work to support himself, his grandmother, and step-grandfather. The age and birthplace are right, so it is quite possible he was the right Joseph James. |
