My branch of the family (James & family) were in southern Ontario (Hamilton and Elora/Guelph areas) and the eldest son, William James married and moved to the northern U.S. (exactly where is unknown at this time) and had 10 sons apparently. My great-grandfather, George Arkell visited his eldest brother and these cousins during school holidays. I wonder if William James and his descendants are any connection to the paper bag branch of the Arkell family? James, his father, came from Gloucestershire. Look forward to hearing from you.
