Title: Robert William James
Post by: PamSquam on Monday 20 January 20 13:59 GMT (UK)
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help with finding the birth details for

Robert William James
Born 12th March 1902
Bedwellty, Aberystwyth

I'm looking to find out who his parents are.

Super interesting as I know we are related to him but not sure exactly how and after popping a post on a group on Facebook I'm in touch with his grandson who had these details but not the full birth certificate.

Have you tried looking for the birth registration on the GRO website as that should give mothers maiden surname. You may need to register if you have not used the site before

Freebmd has the entry
Birth June qtr 1902   
James   -  Robert William       
Bedwelty    11a   72

if the registration district is Bedwellty, it will be Aberystruth. Not Aberystwyth which was Cardiganshire, now Ceredigion.

He features on a tree on Ancestry - his actual birthplace was Abertillery.

If the tree is all correct it goes back quite a few generations and also includes some photos.
