Really trying to see if there are any family still alive today. Its a complicated story on our part, we know James died in France and we have found his memorial, but need to make sure we are definitely tracing the right family members before we make contact with them, thank you so much for your information it will be very useful

 

[hiskeyfamily]

Thank you for that information it confirms what we have

It would take up too much of this sites time to trace James's siblings lives ,and modern records are withheld . Hope someone looks in and sees your post.
