Emma is calling herself "wife" in the 1871 census and "widow" in the 1881 census. There are several deaths for the name William James but none of the ages at death match up with his age on the marriage certificate (although people often lied about how old they were when they married).

Kath. x

I can't find him before or after., I have marriage cert, He married Emma Hawkins of mIlford parish, Derbys,. They had a son Jesse born 1866.

On the cert it said he was a botanical chymist and his father Charles Henry James was a silk manufacturer but I can't find a link.

Emma and Jesse lived with Emmas dad in Heage I have traced her, she remarries and dies in Ashover.

Can anyone HELP!! :-(
