Is John supposed to be the father of James from Tewkesbury ?

[I am trying to ascertain this information, via primary sources such as parish records, archival data etc. and this is why I have approached this forum]

If so its possible but maybe an attempt to fit available parish records to a "wishful" tree -- I would expect John & James to be from the Tewkesbury area....

[ I am sorry if you think this is a "fit" to a "wishful tree" I do have a build of evidence and do try to be ethical in finding my information - in any family history endeavour there are areas of doubt and, as above, this is why I am contacting this forum..I apologise if you think my question not appropriate.
Could you please explain why you would expect John and James to both be from the Tewkesbury area?-- I have searched and cannot find a John Hale in Tewkwesbury--but it is quite possible he was there/or wasn't there, either. I would have thought that people move for work or for other reasons - my Hales are eminently transferable folk--they have moved many times, travelling to and from England/London since the early 1940's--]

A marriage cert for James would probably help--[ I have one]

I'm not a big fan of Ancestry trees ;-)

[Thanks-- I am a fan of ancestry and think even though there is a lot of mis information because people jump to conclusions (and this is a natural thing to do) there is also a lot of very good information proven through birth, death, marriage, census evidence..]
Thanks for your help and insight, much appreciated ;)
Cheers
