John Herbert JAMES 1876 (s/o Joseph gs/o John) (General)
Hi Slowhands
Spot on ! Many thanks for your excellent research.Yes this is the correct family I was looking for,especially John Herbert James on the 1881 Yorkley Census born 11th December 1876 ( father Joseph James Methodist Preacher probably at Whitecroft Wesleyan Methodist & mother Emma James nee Morse).John Herbert James owned the Saddlery in Lydney until he emigrated to Canada in 1912.
I am still looking for Whitecroft Wesleyan Methodist BMD records?
Also I am not clear in which parishes Yorkley,Whitecroft & Parkhill are situated?
Many thanks
Keith McGraw
