He'd be in his 80's now, not 70's.

If you bought the marriage certificate it would tell you if it was the right person and would also give you an address to start from. Someone in the area might remember him.

You might be aware 2 people have this family on Ancestry trees, but interestingly no mention of James.

EDIT there are 2 hidden family members, one might well be him, presumed still living. Both are apparently married.

His mother died Feb 1931, I assume associated with his birth?

Do you? Interesting. I have found that the Myatts are centred in Staffs, a few in the Black Country - and next to none in Birmingham! In fact most people here have never heard of the name!
Our branch revolves around Smethwick, but I believe all Myatts are related somewhere along the line. The origin is a mystery but the most plausible idea is that the name is originally French (Mayot) and they came from France as stonemasons - kind of makes sense doesn't it?
