He was born Baby boy James in Waco at Providence Hosp. on DEC 6, 1938. He was relinguished 12/12/38 to the Home of the Holy Infancey (now MARYWOOD). The Sister's that ran the facility had him Baptized as ROY ANTHONY JAMES at the Assumption Church in Waco 12/16/38. His birth father was listed as John Wilson (age 27; black hair; hazel eyes, 150#; and approx. 5' 5")(John was listed as a farm hand/odd jobs). The birth mother has been listed with 3 variations of name. Mary Ella James, Ella James and Mary Ellen James. Roy's original birth certificate lists (her as age 22 (? or born in 1922); living in Leroy, TX (Mclennan Co); born in Henderson; brown hair; hazel eyes; 120#'; 5' 6") It was listed that she was of German decent, that her father was a farmer that died in the middle 1930's, that her mother remarried a man with the last name of JAMES; that she only finished grade school and possibly worked as a housekeeper. She had 1 sister, 4 brothers and 3 step-sisters (in 1938). So her last name did not become JAMES until the mid 30's. We have searched through the 1920 and 1930 Census in every way possible for Mary's, Mary E's, Ella's, Ella Mary's and Mary Helen's........If anyone could shed some light for us we would be forever grateful.
