JAMES family - Thomas & Eliza

[paxisnz]

I have a very difficult one for you here!!
I am looking for an Edwin JAMES born (according to his death certificate in 1907 birth was in 1851 in Woolwich, London)
However I have not been able to find this family anywhere in the London area.
The clue is - he arrived in New Zealand in about 1870 and  named his farm in New Zealand "Kilmory" so believe he must have had a link with Scotland.
Parents were supposedly Thomas JAMES and Eliza Maude LOVELOCK
Any help greatly appreciated

 Thomas Jam es age 33 engine driver born Mudgely Gloucestershire
Elizabeth wifr age 36 born Hucclecote Gloucestershire
Fanny daughter age 10 born Gloucester

Thomas son  age 6 born Basingstoke Hampshire
John son age 4 born ~Reading
Joseph son age 1 born Birmingham Warwickshire
Address Hopewell Street Gloucester
I also have this family on the 1871 census living Thorpe Mews Kensington London

Edwin James was my gggrandfather, he married Rosina Rayner and had  8 children. He died 28 Nov 1927 on his farm Moreton Rd Parkvale Carterton New Zealand from gunshot wounds. I am interested in finding more about Thomas and Eliz (Elizabeth his parents as I have drawn a blank at that point.

wow  -  i posted that in 2007 =  glad to hear from you
Now think it is actually john james and eliza loveland -  from a marriage certificate

but i have had no success in finding them in the census in england

my interest is that my daughter married into the family

any new info gladly received !!

Now that may make some sense as I found documents to suggest a John James at one point above Edwin. If you care to use my email address we can share information. Where did your daughter marry and to whom?
