Monmouthshire / James Gomer Thomas Tredegar
« on: Thursday 06 September 12 12:33 BST (UK) »
Hello I hope someone can help in finding some information on James Gomer Thomas. While we know details of his marriage, children and death, we know little to nothing of his parents or siblings, if any.
James was born in Tredegar (Bedwellty) 17/07/1914 and believe his mother’s maiden name was Williams but we are not sure of this. He was apparently not brought up by his parents but another family called House (?). He married Catherine Elizabeth Hurlow on 9/10/1937 and they had 4 children.
James enlisted in the Army with the South Wales Borders and was transferred to the Gloucester Regiment and then to the Royal Welch Fusiliers. He was posted to India and Burma where he was killed in action on 6th May 1943.
If anyone can shed some light on James G Thomas’ parentage and childhood we would be very grateful.
Thanks in anticipation
