Biography

Many people have conflated this Edward James with Seaman-406 (Edward Seaman born in Goulburn 1848, married Mary Ann Booth in 1874, died in Mudgee in 1931). The Seaman-Booth marriage is unfortunately one of those with no parents or birth details given, but many details do not match between these two men.

Violet born in Jan 1866, reg as Violet Boyd. Was Edward her father?
What was an engine driver doing in India, where their two sons were born? Did Edward die there? Did he return to Sydney with Susannah and the children and die there, or somewhere else altogether?
Catherine's second marriage, to John Hennessy, states she is a widow, but no obvious death can be found in Australia for Edward James.
Answer - Yes, he did die in Bombay, in 1873. He appears to have been there working with the GIP (Great India Peninsula) Railway, as his death notice in the Times of India mentions the GIP.

The Seaman-Booth marriage is unfortunately one of those with no parents or birth details given, but many details do not match between these two men.

Edward was a farmer in the Goulburn area during the 1870s, when he married Mary Anne Booth. Their son Thomas was born there in 1875. Edward died in Mudgee in 1931.

Edward James, an engine driver, was in Bombay, India at that time with his wife Susannah Catherine (Boyd). Their two sons Edward John Alexander, and Oscar, were born in India. Edward James died in 1873 in Bombay, and Susannah returned to NSW with her sons. Oscar died there shortly afterwards. She remarried to John Hennessy in Townsville, QLD, in 1876.
