    Notes:

    There is some confusion over the name of this individual. His marriage record shows him as Samuel James, however, the baptism records of his sons refer to him as James Samuel, or just James. Based on the directory listings, it appears that he was generally known as James. No baptism record was found to match this individual.

    I never found any other mention of this individual whose bastism name was transcribed as Theresa. I have not checked the originals to see if this was an error, but have wondered if the name was actually Thomas. There was a Thomas Vavasour who married M. Power in 1868. They may have had a son Thomas Vavasour who appears to have worked for the GPO (General Post Office). He died in 1919. I could not associate him with any other Vavasour in the Anglican records. Given that Power is usually an Roman Catholic surname, it is possible he was raised RC.
