Hello Terry,

I know that 'my' ALICE JAMES had a brother MAURICE JAMES and a father JAMES JAMES. I am assuming that the REUBEN MORRIS JAMES in the 1881 census (above) is MAURICE JAMES. Correspondence from a L James, whose father was Maurice, gives the name ALICE RIDLER living in Wales. I am now looking for a marriage (probably in Caerwent) of ALICE PRISCILLA WILLIAMS to ? RIDLER.
This is what I am working on at the moment but I will keep you theory in mind.
Many thanks,

Gordon Williams.
