Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
You don't mention the religious denomination for James. Most church records for the area start 20 or more years after 1792. There is one Church of Ireland church (Caledon) which has records starting in 1791. Those records are not on Roots Ireland so you would have to contact the current Anglican/Church of Ireland diocesan offices to see if the records are available.
