Dear OC, DNA tests at dawn it is then! You simply cannot walk away from this one .... Could there be a connection with a hitherto unknown brother of 'your' James? Possibly an older brother, given the dates? Recently, I found an earlier marriage of one of my lot - and a stepbrother who moved away from his native Norfolk. This solved the mystery of why my Gt Uncle used to visit the Lake District - and who he was visiting. Keep on poking around! Good luck, Jane PS: Actually, tracing the doppelganger's line forward is a great idea - the Censuses have at least once shown me potentially unconnected people staying with some of my ancestors and thus proved a connection. Additionally, you might get some 'family legends' from descendants which tie into your tree.
