aaaJames, Marion and their older children moved from Edinburgh to Clerkenwell, London. Jane Bradford Gooch says they had lived in Staines, "near Portsmouth," before moving to London. There is a Staines southwest of London in Surrey, but not near Portsmouth. James is listed in 1785 and 1790 directories as a watch and clock maker on Berkley and Red Lion Sts. His death wasn't found in The Times of London digital index, but may still be found if a date of death can be obtained other than just the year. Nothing about Marion has been found.
