James HOOKINS (Misc Tree)

Another Hookins has been added to the Miscellaneous database in the absence of conclusive enough proof to place him with a family. I located James on the Parish Records Collection for Burials on the Findmypast website. He was buried at Brompton Ralph in Somerset on 22nd Oct 1870 and was just 8 months old when he died. Brompton Ralph are where my relatives came from and he seems to fit into a family which was in Brompton Ralph at the time. His birth fits in with the births of siblings and the father in that family was also a James. That family however is not yet linked to my Family Tree. The father of the father in this family - little James' grandfather - was a John and John's details so nearly match that of a John in Brompton Ralph who is on my Family Tree. But each John is married to someone with a different christian name and the birth dates in the two families overlap - even though annoyingly some have the same names but different birth dates! - so in the absence of John leading a double life inside his own village with two Hookins wives (unlikely isn't it?) I have nothing to link them yet. Don't you think like me that they must be connected somewhere along the line?
