My first assumption here was that Amelia must have had a prior marriage to a CORBIN, but I can find no earlier marriage for her. What I do find is birth records for the children under the name of Amelia CORBIN, alone. What this suggests, to me, is that James & Amelia were having children out of wedlock before he finally married her.

Name Sex Baptism Location Father Mother Film

Horatio Corbin M 22 Jan 1840 Saint Lucy, Barbadoes, Caribbean Melia Corbin 1157940

Elizabeth Ann Corbin F 28 May 1841 Saint Lucy, Barbadoes, Caribbean Amelia Corbin 1157940

Alexander Corbin M 14 Jan 1844 Saint Lucy, Barbadoes, Caribbean Amelia Corbin 1157940

Joseph Howard Corbin M 11 Jul 1847 Saint Lucy, Barbadoes, Caribbean Amelia Corbin 1157940

If the children had simply been illegitimate, they would be surnamed CONNELL.
In other words, if their father wasn't a CORBIN, why would they have been baptized "Corbin"?
