Hi Tracey
Not sure if you have already paid for the search online, but just in case you haven't! there are 2 possible births, both in Melb Sth believe it or not!
Surname: PATERSON
Given Names: James Allan
Event: B
Father: Wm Glen
Mother: Mary Jane JENKINS
Birth Place: SOUTH MELBOURNE
Year: 1891
Reg. Number: 14921
Wm was born in Sydney and married Mary Jane in 1886 in Vic (reg 3722). Mary Jane was born in Melbourne.
Surname: PATERSON
Given Names: James Allan
Event: B
Father: Alex
Mother: Margt ALLAN
Birth Place: MELBOURNE SOUTH
Year: 1891
Reg. Number: 35065
Alexander married Margaret (Maggie Hunter ALLAN) in 1887 (reg 4950); both were born in Scotland.
I can't find a death for either of these in Victoria tho, nor Jessica's death. Maybe they went back to Tasmania after his WWI service?
His marriage certificate should tell you his father's/parents' names.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
