Is there any possibility your James Driver is related to mine who claims he was born in Cheltenham, Gloucester 1801. I cannot find his birth anywhere in this area. Its possible he was born elsewhere and his family moved to Cheltenham when he was very young. However, there is a story in the family that the Drivers came down from Yorkshire and before that Scotland pre 1800's. When that was I do not know. The name James certainly has been carried down the generations in South Wales where my James Driver married a Margaret Bassett in Llanelli, South Wales in 1825. His wife died aged 58yrs in Llanelli, Carmarthensire in 1856. I cannot find him or his youngest child Richard (who was 10 in 1851) in any Census in the UK for 1861 or 1871 or 1881. I do not know when and where he died. He had several other children whom I can trace but not James Driver the father on or after 1861 anywhere in UK or indeed abroad but cannot be sure I am looking in all the right places if he emigrated in his mid-fifties. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may be related to James Driver!!!
