Hi - I'm a beginner on roots chat and this is my first post.
I wonder if anyone has information on James Bolton. He is my husband's grandfather. I believe he was born Adamstown Cardiff in 12-12-1888. However on 1911 census his birthdate is listed as 1890. I believe his death to be Cardiff Jan-Feb-Mar 1972. His ww army records state he was a platelayer. He has a brother John Bolton who lived at 18 Humphrey Street Cardiff.
John's date of birth was 7/9/1914 Cardiff. James' wife is listed as Catherine Frazer and they had 15 children and I have their names and dates of birth. The army record lists first two as William James Bolton Frazer 7/10/11 and John Frazer 7/9/14 both Cardiff. His military history is for Monmouthshire Royal Reserve Engineers and his army number was 5687. Catherine Frazer married James on 8/11/1913 at Cardiff Registry Office. Witnesses James and Mary Ellen Sullivan.
A member of the family thinks at some time he was in Sheffield - but I can't verify this.
I am trying to trace Jame's parents so I can grow the tree. Does anyone have any information or have James in their tree.
Hope this is in the right format, regards Helen
MODIFIED - Apologies, I've just re-read this in conjuction with comments posted further down and noticed I have confused son John born 1914 with James' Brother John who lived in Humphrey Street Adamsdown
