who gave the information of James parents to the registrar upon his death?

It is difficult to make out - it looks like William Doyle.  I do not know who that is. 

maybe you should find out, he obviously knew a lot if he knew James parents names

Agree with Toni ... the informant obviously knew a lot of info ...

Is it possible for you to check with the Hawkesbury Library or the Family History Group for that area as to who William DOYLE may have been ...  perhaps a husband of one of James'children is my first thought.  http://www.hawkesbury.net.au/community/hfhg/

Do you know who supplied the info for the probate packet where both MOSTYN and BUTLER are obviously surnames noted on that one file ...  Perhaps the legal firm was local to Richmond, and may still exist and (fingers crossed) may have archived their file and still have access !

Re William DOYLE, informant on James d.c. in 1880

I cannot find any "William" Doyle on 1878 electoral roll for The Hawkesbury but noticed the following DOYLE entries on that roll  (all were freeholders at Portland Head South in the Windsor Police District):

James Andrew;  James George; John Frederick...

I tried looking for ROYLE but found none...

Cheers,  JM

Wonder if this links in...

1841
London St Bermondsey
Jn^o Mostyn 74 Hatter born in county
HO107/1048/5/5 Pg1

Fits nicely for area for the possible remarriage of Phoebe Mostyn that toni found - added the Phebe who marries Thomas Avery is a spinster, perhaps she is an older sibling to James?

IGI has a submitted entry of A birth for Abraham Frame of circa 1745 In London – not particularly helpful this Abraham married a Phebey [sic] in 767 London again submitted and does not give any more information as to which church
However seeing as there is the bp. of Pheobe d/o Abraham & Phebey in St Olaves I would suggest you try there!
