Hi
Thank you everyone the details you have given have been a great help. especially Steves entry regarding 3rd child as we had no idea what his name was or when he was born. James & Isabella married in May 1915 have a copy of the marriage certificate.
Regards

Do you have any connection to James Statham 1878 who died in 1918 KIA. I feel that there is a connection to the family Satchwell to but am struggling.
