Hi Sue

I have some Abingdon records and may be able to help however could I clarify some of this first

Is William James the son-in-law of Harold Frederick Richards? or the other way round.

and is there an age given on the death certificate?

I will see what I can find - though Hinksey is a separtate parish to Abingdon

Thanks Debbie

William James was H F Richards son in law, HF died in 1931 age 57 at 38 Bowyer Road Abingdon. I have the 1901 census that has HF and Wife Annie with daughter Lizzie age 5 could Lizzie be the wife of William James! in 1901 they were living at 5 School Place St Aldates

cheers

Hi Sue

I am afraid all I can find is that there was a William James of about the right age in Abingdon in 1901 (the last available census) - this is him with his family

 Dorcas James abt 1860  Famley, Berkshire, England Wife  Abingdon  Berkshire   
 Doris James abt 1898  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter  Abingdon  Berkshire   
 Esther James abt 1892  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter  Abingdon  Berkshire   
 George James abt 1889  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son  Abingdon  Berkshire   
 Joseph James abt 1857  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Head  Abingdon  Berkshire   
 Marion James abt 1900  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter  Abingdon  Berkshire   
 William James abt 1894  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son  Abingdon  Berkshire 


Unfortunatly I only have marriages up to 1900 so I don't think I can help you much more until you get a bit further back
