Hi
I do not have any certificates. This is from family and other info I have found on the internet.
It is possible that he is just James Bristow. I've not been able to find anything and the dates could definitely be different.
They were definitely married in Dunedin NZ but I couldn't find James arriving in NZ or any of his relatives. It may be he wasn't born in Brighton?
?
I also only have 4 children for James and Matilda though Matilda's family all from Jersey were a large family and many of the jersey ones seems to be.
