James was born in 1851. He passed away in 1930.
Research Notes
The referenced date records do not appear to match as there are different mothers i.e. the NSW James Coombes mother is recorded as Kathleen, not Charlotte. This may be explained by his mother dying when he was around age seven and his father possibly remarrying. In the meantime until confirmed the parents are marked as uncertain.

Graham, I note your comment on the different mother's names here on the birth and death sources. I find that not at all unusual in this era, particularly noting that his mother died over 70 years earlier when he was very young. Also, I note that there is no firm date of death on his father; if he remarried after James's mother died it could well have been the second or subsequent wife's name who was registered.
