General Notes
- Living in Halliwell, Deane, Lancashire in 1841.
  
  By 1851, James had left his parents, so assumed married. There are 9+ marriages of James Kay between 1841 and 1851, so it is difficult to determine the correct marriage. Unlike his siblings, he did not marry at Deane, and there is no marriage for a son of Ralph. Actually, he died!
