Hi Philip,
I think I have one of each, maybe even one of Philip etc.  HOWEVER, they are in storage in Canada as I just sold up there and am in wandering mode for a while.  As soon as I have access I will send you copies of what I have.

William Henry Trewartha James

Hi Phillip

I came across your details whilst trying to find out more about the Trewartha James.  I've registered on RootsChat but will have to do some more exploring when I have time as I can't now recover the chat stream I found where you were finding out lots about the family.  I don't know if you went much further looking at this lineage, but for what it's worth...

Anyway, I am the great-granddaughter of William and Alice.  Their second daughter was Dorril Vernon (not Dorris) who was my late father's mother.   It was wonderful to find out more too about great-uncle Derric - perhaps if I find myself near Loos I'll visit his grave.  The stories about the William and Alice family stream are that William and John were international mining consultants (I loved the snippet about how they chose their wives by tossing a coin!) and continued travelling after marriage, hence Dorril being born in Mexico city.  In 1903 William and Alice had another daughter, Iris Mavourneen, who became a ballerina and danced once as Iris James with Sadlers Wells in London.  She was always known as Jimmy and ended her days with us.  Dorril found herself a husband in another family of eccentrics - I believe the marriage was arranged and not awfully happy, although they had 3 sons and seemed to have lots of fun.  Funnily enough, her sister married her husband's cousin, although not til much later - history repeating itself... Dorril emulated her parents' life in many ways and on marrying bought a house close by in London and furnished it as similarly as possible.  I think the family was badly affected by Derric's death in the Great War.

Oh - the story I heard was that the reason the sisters double-barrelled their husbands' name was that they didn't fancy continuing to have the same surname after marriage when they'd been the same before.  Mary obviously won with double-barrelling her surname.  We don't know where the others found the Trewartha.  Interestingly enough, I always heard it that the brothers were William and Samuel, and I note from an earlier posting that Abraham of Gwennap had a son called Samuel so that must be where the muddle comes from.  I'm having trouble typing because the screen keeps flicking so excuse any mistakes!

Well, it's late so that's me done, but I wanted to say thanks for starting that stream that helped me to find out so much more about my family.

Hallo, Anna - and welcome to Rootschat.

How lovely to hear from a relative!

Most of my Trewartha family tree should be on GenesReunited, although I have not kept up my subscription. I have various information and queries on various other internet sites but I have rather lost track of them.

I will send you a personal message with my e-mail address if you would like copies of the files I have on computer.  For anything I can't help with, Rootschat is a wonderful site full of helpful people.

Wendy Beasley (see below) is a great person to know.  She and I are descended from John Henry James.

It's fascinating to hear of another "Jimmy" James. John Henry had a daughter Norah Ruth Cordner James who was also known as Jimmy.

Hope to hear from you soon
Philip
