Hello Mark, The name is familiar. I have Robert JAMES b.c 1690 at Long Framlington with wife Philis Martin. This pair had Isabel JAMES b.c 1725 at Long Horsley who married William BURN b.c 1714 at Long Framlington in 1749. Possibly same family. Said Isabel JAMES died I believe, although I am still looking for her burial because I feel sure the marriage of Isabel WILSON in 1752 to William BURN was the same William BURN. They appeared to move round district a fair bit but I hadn't thought of looking at Alnwick for JAMES family. The BURN - WILSON alliance is my direct line. Hope you find your JAMES clan. They sound interesting and you have done well to find them. Best of luck. Judy McCracken
