Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the family of James W Last who was born in Bury St Edmunds about 1857. I think I have found out his mother was Martha Bullen who married James Last senior in 1858, I think he must of died and Martha remarried Charles Taylor. I have them both on 1871 census with James as Saylor, it says that Charles is Son and daughter in laws of children. I am trying to find out who the father and mother and year of birth and place of James w father. ,James is please.
Thank you

Right I have to go to bed now, so thank you all soooooo much.

I might guess that this is James Sr in 1851, since Martha was living in Bury St Edmunds St Mary in that census and that is where they married in 1858

Name: James Last
Age: 19
Estimated birth year: abt 1832
Relation: Lodger
Where born: Lawshall, Suffolk, England
Civil Parish: Bury St Edmunds St Mary
Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary
County/Island: Suffolk
William Saunders 49
William Saunders 20
Eliza Saunders 16
James Last 19

however that James is a carpenter where our James was later an ag lab ...


his place of birth in the 1861 census was Barrow (which was later in Bury St Edmunds registration district) ...

1841

Name: James Last
Age: 10
Estimated birth year: abt 1831
Gender: Male
Where born: Suffolk, England
> Civil Parish: Barrow
Registration district: Thingoe
County/Island: Suffolk
Mary Last 40
Willm Last 15
Mark Last 15
Amy Last 15
Sally Last 10
James Last 10
Joseph Last 10
Benjn Last 6
Jemima Sharpe 35
Susan Sharpe 20

mother widowed ...


essentially you need the Last + Bullen marriage certificate to know for sure who James Sr's father was


this would seem to be the 1841 James

if the father's name on James Sr's marriage certificate is Mark, then that is him, but you need that certificate to confirm

Thank you very much
