The 1841 Census I sent to you is not your Jesse James. I've since found a Death for a Jesse Jones, registered Sep Qtr, 1843, Wellington, Somerset, Vol 10  Pg 313.

Joy.

I think Sarah's maiden name was NORRIS rather than MORRIS. There is a marriage record for Jessy JAMES and Sarah NORRIS in Axbridge RD in 1844 (Q1 Vol 10 p494). Interestingly the names Jessy BROOKS and Jessy WEEKS appear there as well. It might be worth investigating whether these were aliases. If you obtain the marriage certificate that should (hopefully) help identify his father.
