Hi Suzie You don't say when your James COMPTON was born. I have looked on the 1851 census and have found a James COMPTON aged 7 living with, what is shown as, his widowed mother, although she is listed as 70, so he could be her grandson. I'll show it below just in case he's the one. CASTLETHORPE Piece 1723 Folio 795 Schedule 0019 Mary A.
