There was a James born in 1821 according to the IGI, but James Portlock, gun barrel maker, was listed in a trade directory for Birmingham as early as 1830, so these were probably not the same person. I would think father and son, but the James b.1830 was the son of John and Elizabeth. Lots of Portlocks were in the gun business there. Do you know names of any of James' siblings?
