James was born, according to the FreeBMD index, in 1876, and according to the 1881 census in Flamborough East Township in Wentworth County, Ontario, he may have been the last child born to the family in England. According to the 1891 census, again in Flamborough East, John and Margaret had a daughter Helen who was born in 1885. The 1871 census in Heywood, Heap, Lancashire, shows John Samuel Job as a cotton spinner.
