James has been difficult to locate as the family did not live in the village for very long. James was born in Abergavenny and was one of nine children. His parents were John Breeze and Sarah Ann Morris both from Shropshire. In 1901 the family was living in Wavertree, Liverpool. I cannot find them on the 1911 Census. James had joined the navy in 1903 and was based at Davenport, but only lasted a couple of years before he was discharged. Two of his brothers, Arthur and John also served in the army during the War. Arthur was a regular soldier and was killed on 5 October 1914. This was James’ cue to join up which he did in October 1914. His brother John lost a leg, but survived. He married Annie Smith at St Mary’s in 1916 and later moved to Triangle. We can find his mother Sarah Ann living on Duke Street on the 1915 electoral register. She also moved away from Luddenden to live in Triangle (1918) and she died in 1937. In the Halifax Courier on 1 July 1916, it said the following:
