Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Lyndon Angus James
« on: Saturday 19 April 14 09:24 BST (UK)  »
I have a record of Lyndon A James born 1925 in Merthyr Tydfil, I believe his mother's maiden surname was Phillips. Siblings I know of are Joan, Dilys, Malcolm & Barbara.
I am trying to find the full names of Lyndon's parents and any other information.
Lyndon emigrated to Australia in 1942 on his own and died here in 1986. :)
Also found a medals list, discharge #R261440. National Archives, Kew. Believe he was in the Navy.
Can anyone help please.

William Paice
In the will of William Paice 1829 it records that he had a Cabinet Makers workshop in New Street (I believe the corner of Winchester Street) The business was passed to his sons William and George.
William Paice (Jn) will of 1843 record the same business as Cabinet Maker and upholsterer
Is there any record of this business in the trade directory. thanks. :)
