James Family - Mitcham

[waynus james]

I am trying to trace any photographs or information relating to John and Minnie James who lived at 8 Seaton Road, Mitcham (definitely there in 1911).  They had 23 children - their youngest daughter Ellen was my granny and I would love to find out more information about her brothers and sisters.

Further to my previous post, I have now found out that Minnie and John James lived at Queens Road, Mitcham in the 1920s - so not sure if this will jog anyone's memories.

Hi All

Just come back to the site after a break.

Still looking for help on this one - would be good to hear from you if you have any information.  We have since found our that John James's parents were Joseph and Louisa James.

Best wishes

FreeBMD March 1878 Marriage Reg has her as Mignionetta AYRES

John James, 20, Hawker, born Aldershot, Surrey

John is with his Parents JOHN/LOUISA, nee Ayres also in 1891 Census, down as Married.

Also on 1911 Census they have a lot less than 23 Children born to them?
