Ok so you've presumably followed Andrew back and found James and then followed James back to find his marriage?

I would suggest searching the baptisms for the church where James married to make sure that first of all he is Andrew's father (ie to make sure you have the right James) and then find out what other children he had.

I'm not sure what you mean - you ask if they are father and son but state immediately before that they are!

Can you clarify what you are asking?
