Career
When his predecessor died in 1940 this led to a by-election, and because of the wartime truce he was returned unopposed. He lost the seat to Labour at the United Kingdom general election 1945. He was the chief chemist at Lunts of Portuguese Sunlight near Liverpool.
He changed his name from Davies to Wootton-Davies after marrying Shirley Wotton (who added an extra o in Wotton because she felt it was too common) thus becoming Wootton-Davies.
He lived in Starlings Castle, Bronygarth, then moved to Bronwilfa Hall near Wrexham where James Henry died in 1964.
