Bev, If the James Edmonds son of Tobias you're referring to is the one who married Eliza Spargo in 1848 and emigrated to Pennsylvania, I don't think the 1820 Marazion baptism could be his. The tombstone of the James who married Eliza is in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Tamaqua (Schuylkill County), Pennsylvania. It gives James' death date as 16 May 1860 and his age as "42 years," suggesting a birth date of 1818. This is consistent with the age 30 that appears on James' and Eliza's marriage certificate. Ages for James in U.S. census records are not completely consistent with the 1818 birth date, however. In the 1850 U.S. census, James' age is given as 30 (suggesting a birth date of about 1820). He also appears on the 1860 census mortality schedule for Schuylkill County; his age is given there as 44 (suggesting a birth date of 1816). I believe these census ages are less likely to be correct than the tombstone age, since we don't know who provided the census information, while family members probably provided the tombstone age, and James himself presumably provided the marriage certificate age.
