==Early life==
James Alfred Corea was born on 23 November 1871 at Negombo to Mudaliyar Henry Richard Corea and Cornelia Wilhelmina Perera. He was the grandson of Simon Corea J.P and Mudaliyar of Alutkuru Korale, and Cornelia Dias Bandaranaike. Sri Lankan author Kumari Jayawardena, writing about the Coreas noted: 'Unconnected to the liquor trade but making their money on plantation ventures was the Corea Family of Chilaw, an influential govigama group with a history going back to Portuguese rule when they were warriors to Sinhala kings. During Dutch and British rule, members of the family were officials serving the state in various ways and rewarded with titles. Some members of the family took to the legal and medical professions, most notably the sons of Charles Edward Corea (a solicitor), who were active in local politics and in the Chilaw Association which campaigned against British land policies - especially the Waste Lands Ordinance, and for political reforms.' Kumari Jayawardena goes on to state: 'While being professionals and political activists, the Coreas were also important landowners. ' 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thesundayleader.lk/archive/20090628/review.htm )〕 As a child, like some members of the Corea family, he attended S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia.

James Alfred's Grandfather was a Justice of Peace and succeeded his brother Johannes as Mudaliyar of Alutkuru Korale after his death in 1835.
