I suppose James might not have been his first name? it could have been something James New couldn't it... I was given the impression they were from Lechlade, but can't find that at the moment...

If it's the Winterbourne Monkton lad, he was in Preshute, Wilts (as Frederick G New) with his widowed mother and siblings in 1901: RG13/1924 folio 97 p5

and this looks likely to be his parents' marriage

what is the best way to find records after the 1901 census?
My grandfather had said he remembered having family in Whelford Fairford, but he wasn't born until 1915 so it wouldn't have been until later on. Just wondered if that might give some more clues for names to look for further back and maybe places of birth too?  :)
