Hi Drew, I have recently read your email about William JAMES of Cessnock area. I am interested in tracing a William JAMES, b. during 1850's in Wales and had 2 brother & 1 sister - 1/John (reported to have died during the Boer War) 2/Albert Edward, b. abt 1857 in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales & d. 7 Mar 1927 in Newcastle Hospital, NSW 3/Mary Jane, b. abt 1864 on the Isle of Wight, England & d. 26 May 1935 in Lithgow. >From oral family history, my aunt-in-law remembers travelling from Lithgow to the Cessnock area with her grandmother when she was very little as her grandmother's brother William had just died but Aunty Eve could not remember her uncle's wife's name. It is possible that William JAMES may have worked as a miner as Mary Jane's husband, William James THOMAS was a miner and their only daughter Eva Marion THOMAS married into a mining family of CAMPBELL's from Wallsend. Like you Drew, any information will be gratefully appreciated, many thanks in advance, Glynis Wheeler Blaxcell, NSW ----- Original Message ----- From: "drew gerard" <gerard_drew@yahoo.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-HUNTER-VALLEY@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 5:43 PM Subject: [HV] JAMES family of Cessnock > Hello > I am searching for info on the James family of Gordon Avenue, Aberdare, > Cessnock.
