• Notes

  I think I've figured this out. James was living with George and Elizabeth and met Elzabeth's sister, Melissa. They also have a brother, P M Blake, who may be a twin to Melissa. Their mother remarried to a man name BLUE and had at least one more child, Margaret Blue. Sarah Blue is their mother, James and George's mother-in-law.
