Farnam Conway Frederick Elliott James

    The reason for my request is that my sister is writing a book about our family and our Mom, born 11 March 1925 Rhoda Conway nee James (widowed as a Mrs RC van der Byl), who died recently. She leaves a history of the James family which is largely undocumented. FFE Conway James was a Welshman and was divorced from our grandmother early on in the marriage. Little contact was achieved after that, although he did die in Johannesburg, where he used to visit us when we children were growing up, and as I told you, was cremated at Braamfontein. If you are doing the birth register, any details you find on Frederick Farnham Elliot Conway James would be useful. The names Elliot and Conway may be transposed into Conway Elliot, I am not sure of which way round. He would have been born in Conway, Wales, sometime in the 1880's. I'm sure you won't have his details of him, in any birth register, though. He was married to Johanna Carter, widowed (nee Joubert), born on 11th December, 1885 (or so we think). Importantly, is that we would love to have info on FFE C James. Any help you could give us would be appreciated.
    With thanks,
