Frank James????

[garethrjames]

Hi,

Am trying to trace any info on my great uncle Frank James b.1917-? in cardiff. Brother of Edward, Margaret and Florence. His parents were Alfred 1872-1930 and Edith Rachel 1876-1940. He went to war in WW2 and we have no more info. We think he returned to Cardiff after the war and fell out with his siblings. Any help appreciated.

Regards

Gareth

Hi, thanks for the responses. Those are indeed his parents. His mother Edith rachel was first married to a george pengelly but after he died she married alfred james. The mystery is did he die in wartime? Did he marry and have kids? When did he die? No idea how to find out. We think he moved out of cardiff but unfortunatley he fell out with his sisters and brother (my grandad) and he was never talked about.

If you want to eliminate a possible wartime death, search for a website which specialises in army
history. Someone might recognise the regimental cap. Do the British Legion hold records for ex-members ?

Hi
Did Frank have any siblings, if so do you know their names? Do you know Beryls surname before marriage?

Franks siblings were Margaret, Edward (my grandfather) and Florence.
Beryls maiden name was Jenkins.
Thanks
