>Who was James first wife and the mother of his children? Any help would be appreciated. If the family is Irish, typically the first daugther is named for the mother's mother, the second for the father's mother, and the third for the mother -- perhaps you are looking for Margaret? Have you found any of his daughter's families yet? The first girl among the grandchildren is likely to be named for her. I agree with your conclusions about this family constellation, too.
