Hi Keith
 Found his sister from St Michaels church records as she was christened there, unfortunatly the James 1 year previously with parents listed as Samuel and Betty Travis (the correct names), according to the Registrars office did not have the correct parents.I really thought I had found him that time
Thanks so much
Lynne

Hello David The delay was down to checking my details before replying will try to be quicker in replying as I get used to the system. Yes it is the correct family they did not move for many years James death was reported in the local paper as it was an unfortunate accident, and his death cetificate states he was 39 years old.
Thanks for your interest
Lynne

Hi
I am getting a bit confused here.  Not difficult!    Do you have the marriage certificate for your James and does it show his father as Samuel?

Hi Andrea
Sorry for the confusion, yes I do have James and Matildas marraige certificate 24 June 1872 and yes his father is listed as Samuel deceased.
