died after WWI probably at Porthcawl GLA
at least four children (see 4, 5, 6, and 7 below)
The children were:

Ann Roselia and at least her two daughters were known to be living at
Porthcawl during WWI, but all contact with my branch of the JAMES family was
lost after 1922 upon emigration to Queensland, Australia.
If you are related to any of these people, please contact me.
