William JAMES born about 1830 in Cornwall ELLEN JANE JAMES born 1853 Adelaide, Australia I am researching my paternal side for a William JAMES, born about 1830 in Cornwall, and died in 1881 in South Australia. He married in 1849 to an unknown, they had at least two children, Ellen Jane JAMES b. abt 1853 in Brompton, Sth. Australia who died in 1883 in Sth. Aust. and a son Francis Thomas JAMES. In 1878 Ellen Jane married Thomas DAVIS b. abt 1828 (in a place unknown) his marriage certificate said he was English. We do know his father was Charles DAVIS. Ellen Jane and Thomas had a son Henry Malcolm DAVIS born 1879 in Adelaide, he died in Newcastle NSW in 1956. Henry was a State Ward at 4 yrs old and in 1906 he married Francis Matilda Mary CLIFFORD b. 1883 in Sth Aust. and died in 1943 in Cessnock. Do any of these names match up with your family? I would be pleased to hear from you if they do. Regards Ernie Davis ernied1@bigpond.net.au New Email Address, ernied1@bigpond.net.au
