Biography
James Lemin was born on 30th June 1878 in the Pwllheli Workhouse to unmarried mother Mary Eliza Lemin[1]
In the 1881 census, John Pearce (54, lead miner born Kenwon), wife Frances (52 born St Austell) and unmarried children Richard (21 born Quethiock), Edwin (17 born Quethiock), Bessie (14 born Quethiock), Jane Ann (13 born Quethiock), grandson James Whitford (2 born Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire) and lodgers Thomas Morgan (24) and John Andrews (21) are living at Old Chapel House, Pwlllheli, Caernarvonshire, Wales[2]
Why James Lemin is now James Whitford is unclear - maybe this is the name of his birth father - his mother married in April/May/June 1881, but not to a Whitford.
In the 1891 census, John Pearce (64, lead miner born Kenwyn, Cornwall), wife Frances (63 born Roche, Cornwall), son-in-law William Jones (30 born Llanengan, Caernarvonshire) and his wife Bessie Maria Jones (26 born Quethiock, Cornwall), grandsons James Lemin (12 born Llanengan) and William John Roberts (6 born Llanengan) are living at Tan y Bwlen (transcription unclear), Llanengan, Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire[3]
