Thank you for your interest.
I have the 1871 census for Southport showing James his wife Eliza son Charles 4 born Cardiff and daughter Winifred Maud 2 born Weston. the next child Bertie was born 1873 Everton.
The census describes James as an author of school books. His marriage certificate states he was a school teacher. I am inclined to doubt the family story that he was a Methodist Minister. The marriage certificate also states the father Charles was an Independant Minister.
James and Eliza had 13 children 12 boys and 1 girl. 10 of the boys died in Everton during a diptheria epidemic I have no names.
What I need is the birth of James. I did find a James Lloyd Davies born Abergavenny 1840 but he was the wrong one. Any advice would be appreciated. Joan
