Hi
I am trying to find information about my grandfather Eric Nelson James and his family. I never knew any of them because my my grandparents split up when my father was young, but i have heard lots of family stories. Eric Nelson had lots of brothers and sisters invcluding Dora, Alfred, Reginald, William and Violet. Apparently two of the girls were missionaries or married to missionaries in China. Two boys on the other hand had apparently been expelled from a choir school. One brother, William went to Australia and was allegedly last heard of when he sent home aletter saying "send £5 pounds to keep me out of jail"! I would love to know if any of this is true, and if they had any descendants.
