Not sure where the name James comes in. He could have been Edwin James or James Edwin I suppose.

Got the information I posted from Ancestry Worldwide membership. Have subscribed for quite some time and have found it very useful both in researching my own tree and trying to help other people.

Have got to go out for a while, but will have another look later to see what I can find.

Perhaps someone else will also have a look for you.
