Lyndon Angus James
« on: Saturday 19 April 14 09:24 BST (UK) »
I have a record of Lyndon A James born 1925 in Merthyr Tydfil, I believe his mother's maiden surname was Phillips. Siblings I know of are Joan, Dilys, Malcolm & Barbara.
I am trying to find the full names of Lyndon's parents and any other information.
Lyndon emigrated to Australia in 1942 on his own and died here in 1986. :)
Also found a medals list, discharge #R261440. National Archives, Kew. Believe he was in the Navy.
Can anyone help please.

Hi

Mum's name is Phillips and there is a marriage between an Edwin D James and a Margaret Phillips in Merthyr in March Quarter 1924 but to be absolutely sure that it them you'll probably need to get Lyndon's birth certificate as there are a lot of James/Phillips marriages in South Wales around that time.

His other military records though might have next of kin as his parents though
