To find out if James and Mary had more kids you'll need to wait until the 1911 census comes out. If they stayed in Sheffield until then I don't see any births. Rose

Does appear to be but it is such a big gap which is why I wondered about more children. Elsie died in childbirth to Margery and would have been my Gran. Thanks for looking and the info Jacqui

Jacqui, He was born before the marriage so his surname is Edgar. Rose

There's only one marriage for an Edgar to a Sproat so that has to be them. Rose
