Slowhands, Many thanks for your very prompt replies to my enquiries. I have traced this Richard James and his family down to George James my late father by way of the 1841 1851,and 1861 census, all of whom lived in Coalway Road Coleford until he died in 1882 and his wife in 1886. I hold photo copies of the original Register of Graves of both which I visited in Coleford Cemetry during September 2008. I have therefore rejected any other Richard James born 5 years either side of 1811 born in The Forest of Dean. I would mention that I have found a number of unconfirmed possibles, probables, and red herrings in my long surchases for his parents. It seems that I have hit a brick wall !! however I will keep trying and thank you for your courteous respnses.
