The above photo was taken about 1870, when James would have been about 70 years old. James and Elizabeth were both born in Devonshire, England; he on a farm called Birchill, near the village of Langtree, she in Pilton, near Barnstaple. James was the sixth child, and fifth son of Humphrey Mallett and Catherine Balson.
James and Elizabeth were married in Pilton in 1824. Their first three children, and possibly the fourth, were born in the British Isles, the rest of the children were born in Canada. James seems to have been well educated; his occupation was listed as "Schoolmaster", when their first son was christened in Barnstaple in 1826. Sometime between the birth of the first child and the third in Exeter in 1830, James had learned the trade of carpentry, and his occupation this time was listed as "Joiner".
