    James was living at Erpingham with his family at the time of the 1841 census and was the absentee landlord of large landholdings at Martham listed in the 1842 Tithe Award.<\/a><\/em> He owned most of the land in Martham that his uncle James Bane (1768-1834)<\/a><\/em> had held at the time of the 1812 Inclosure Award, plus some additional land. He owned 58 acres, 1 rod & 6 perches of land being plots 374, 402, 410 & 411 to the east of Damgate<\/a><\/em>. Plot 397 a meadow near the river. Plots 211, 212. 213, 217, 262, 263, 273, 264 &  275 surrounding the former windmill site in Hemsby Road<\/a><\/em>. Plots 674 & 675 just into Hemsby Road <\/a><\/em>on the north side as you leave The Green<\/a><\/em> and opposite them plot 682 which has The Gables<\/a><\/em> on it.  As he was the miller at Erpingham he let plots 374, 397, 402, 410 & 411 to William Grimston and plots 211, 212, 213, 217, 262, 273, 274, 275, 674, 675 & 682 William Randall.  Interestingly plot 682 was The Gables<\/a><\/em> a fine house at the corner of The Green <\/a><\/em>and Hemsby Road<\/a><\/em> so presumably William Randall lived there.<\/p>\n\n\n

    James had come about all this land by inheriting it from his cousin Elizabeth Bane the daughter of James Bane (1768-1834)<\/a><\/em> after she died in 1837. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    James was still the miller at Erpingham Mill in 1845 according to White\u2019s Directory<\/a><\/em> but by 1851 he had moved to Martham and was living at The Green <\/a><\/em>as a farmer of 43 acres. Similarly, he was included in the Register of Electors<\/a><\/em> for Martham in 1853-54 and his address was given as Market Road (Hemsby Road<\/a><\/em>). This may have been at The Gables<\/a><\/em> where other family tree owners say he lived unless they are getting muddled with his ownership of the property in 1842.<\/p>\n\n\n
