James was listed as a widower and manufacturing chemist on his second wedding registration, but appears to have worked primarily as a harness maker in Canada. James, Ann and their eldest daughter immigrated in 1861 and settled in Vittoria, Charlotteville Township, Norfolk County, where he was employed as a harness maker by George Hewitt, and rang the town bell for several years. See photo of James H.
