Summary

William H Edwards b. 1836 = Elizabeth
----Harry b 1868 = Kate ---> Clara Elizabeth b. 1904 Barnt Green Worc
---- Clara Jane b. 1870 = William James --->Kathleen Margorie b. 1907 Kenilworth Warwickshire
----Mary E b. 1874 maybe the Mary Elizabeth Hope??

William James b. 1870 Kenilworth = Clara Jane
f. John m. Emma

Anyway I was hoping that I would find a tree on ancestry but no luck.

Need to track the offspring of William James and Clara Jane to find the rightful owner of the book.

Thanks for all the info given here. Excellent! I am now trying to track down descendants of Kathleen Marjorie James born 1907 Kenilworth.
It's possible she may have married a John E Moore in the registration district of Warwick April- June 1931 ref 6d 1861. I have searched the BMD for possible children of this marriage up to 1933 but no luck.
Any more info gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
