Hi Pam, thank you so much for your reply. I have seen the James born Erith but have discounted him as he appears in the 1901 in Erith when my James is in Moelesy, Surrey. Unfortunately the information on Ancetry comes from my tree :-) I posted his Birth Certificate. along with his Marriage Certificate. I should really have mentioned that I have James' basic information, I was really tring to find James and his father in case there were any other offspring etc. I really appreciate your efforts.

Might be worth following him up. 2. there are numerous trees on ancestry and they give James as being born 15 essex place, Lewisham to Robert Bowers and "Donna" Maria Gardner and marrying Louisa Tillett.....might pay to contact these people - they are public trees. the tree also shows his birth certificate.
