Wow, well done West Country Lass!

That ties in nicely with the census & the birth cert. It also makes me just a little bit more Welsh (at last)

Thank you so much for your help

Thank you, I also looked at that one. Rebecca signed the birth cert so she survived the birth & I can't find a death for her.
Known siblings of William were Lena (Selina?) & Flossa (Florence?)

This is my Grandad but he was such a quiet man that none of us know anything about his history. All offspring were female including me!

I am looking for William Henry L JAMES born BARRY Glamorgan January 1897 ie 4 at time of census.
He was the son of William Henry JAMES & Rececca JAMES nee CARDOW
William Henry JAMES senior was a carpenter known to have spent some of his working life making coffins.

I can find no trace of the on the 1901 & neither can I find parents marriage.

William Henry L JAMES married & died in BARRY so he unlikely to have gone very far from home

Thank you
