there are a lot of possibles but I can add that his father was also called James. The marriage took place at Roath, St Saviour on 16th Nov 1918. Mervyn J. HOPKINS was born in 1925 not 1922. GRO Index - Cardiff Dist. Jan qtr. Vol 11A Page 669.

On the marriage record James does not have a middle name so those on the 1911 with a middle name and no father James I eliminated and was left with a
James 41 labourer at steel works born Hobson? County Durham
wife Elizabeth 43 born Carmarthenshire.
James 17 is a bakers assistant.
William John 13,
Susan Winifred 12,
Margaret 8,
Charlotte Elizabeth 2
Thomas 10 months.
They are living at Tenby Street Moors Cardiff.

John and Florence's marriage cert would confirm his father James as found by Nicolina. The other info it would give would be James occupation and his father's, names of witnesses and addresses. All of these may help to confirm the correct family.
