I am looking for the parents and siblings of Thomas vernon James born Pontypridd 1895
-
What else do you know about him? Did he marry? If so, you will need to get his marriage certificate to get his father's name and go from there.
There are quite a few Thomas Jameses in the area at the time (none appear to have a middle name of Vernon).

There is a death record for a Thomas Vernon James in Pontypridd reg district in the March quarter of 1975, but his date of birth is recorded as 3 June 1888.

The only Thomas Vernon James I can find is the one born 1888.
Not found the 1891 census as yet:
1901 Living in Llwynypia, Tonypandy
Household Members:
Name Age
Philip James 42
Cath James 36
Tom Ver James 12 Born Tonypandy - clerk in stores
Eddy James 8
Mary A Edwards 27
Mark E James 1
In 1911 still living in Tonypandy
Household Members:
Name Age
Phillip James 52
Catherine James 46
Thomas James 22 - Fishmonger (own account)
Edward James 18
Garfield James 13
Mark E James 11
Katta Bernet 18
Mary Powell 15
A G Edwards 35
Whilst the transcription shows just "Thomas James" the original is "Thomas V James"
Therefore on the basis of this I think that parents are
Philip James born 1859 Aberdare - coal miner &
Catherine Hopkins 1865 Tonypandy Married June Qtr 1883
There is a family tree for this Thomas on A..y

Hi
I have Thomas Vernon James in my family tree. As someone has already posted his parents are Philip James and Catherine Hopkins. Philip's parents - Edward James and Elizabeth Phillips.
I have more information that I would be happy to share if you think this is the Thomas Vernon James you are looking for.
Regards
Vivien
