The nearest birth reg I can find is Jun qtr 1882
James Owen reg Dudley mmn Smith

 

[Astoness]

this info from a family tree on ancestry fits the quarter of birth jan ...i guess it could be him...census years and war records are also on ancestry for this man


When James Owen was born in April 1882, his father, Edward, was 37. He married Mary Ann Shephard on 31 May 1909. He died on 1 May 1915 in France at the age of 33, and was buried there.

Address from pension ledger info. The above James died May 15 not the James I'm looking for (he survived the war). 1882 birth the only one I found that could be for him.

I have had another search but again nothing (new) so I think it's a dead end on this one.

Most likely birth reg

This could be his death

 

[Astoness]

thanks jan i found that 21 and wondered if the date of birth was wrong...so he was born in 1877 not 1881/2

Maybe not after this posting from Janice. Search for 1877 birth record.

Interesting as it is Birmingham Street so he didn't move far - just a few doors.

Many thanks all, problem solved. The Llewellyn name from my original posting is his sister Elizabeth, married Herbert Llewellyn 1893. So born 1877 not 1882. Father Reuben mother Ann.
