He would fit in so nicely in the family of one of the children of the Hicks brothers of Prince Edward County:

Did you notice on his marriage register in 1847 that he was living in Cramahe Tp., Northumberland County & that one of the witnesses was Daniel Hicks?

He would fit in nicely but we would like to know who James father is. Who are the Hicks brothers of Prince Edward County

At the link I gave you in my previous message, three brothers are listed: Benjamin, Joseph & Daniel Hicks. Benjamin married Sarah Gerow and several people have claimed this couple as the parents of your James Hicks. Try doing a search for this couple and you'll see a lot of trees claiming James as their son. I don't know if these people are just copying each other.

I would suggest contacting some of these people to see what their source was. For example, there is this tree on Ancestry:
