You asked about James....
According to a passage in Josephus's Jewish Antiquities, (xx.9) "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James" met his death after the death of the procurator Porcius Festus, yet before Lucceius Albinus took office (Antiquities 20,9) ??? which has thus been dated to 62. -Wikipedia article.
This occurance is not mentioned in Acts and it is noteworthy as well that the book of Acts ends before Paul's release from prison in 62. Also, it does not mention the extreme persecution that began under Emperor Nero in 64.
