Yes, his father was John as per James' marriage certificate. 
Thanks.
Just as an aside James' brother Thomas was killed by a railway carriage in Birkenhead in 1845 when working as a porter.

Cheshire / CHAMBERLAIN James b.1834 (ish) Heswall
« on: Monday 07 February 11 14:02 GMT (UK)  »
James is my GGGrandfather and I have located him on 1851 census in Brimstage and then on 1881 census with his wife Ellen (Helen on the census) and family. My problem has been trying to locate him in 1861 and 1871. He married Ellen Southern, a widow, in 1872, he was a bachelor. My guess is maybe he was in the military. I have no proof of this but his son James was in the army briefly and there is a mention of a James Chamberlain of Heswall in an old Mersey newspaper, described as a Crimean and Mutiny veteran but no way of knowing whether he is 'my' James. Searches for James in military sections of various family history sites have been unsuccessful.
Any assistance tracking him down would be greatly appreciated.

I had stillborn twins, in Wales, in 1991 and had to register a birth and a death for them.

Hi Kath,
Thanks for that. I contacted Wirral but they don't have anything relevant but suggested Chester RO. I have emailed them and am waiting for a reply.
