James married Dora Ann Deason in 1920. In 1921 they are in lodgings, living with the Gledhill’s at 32 Napier Street, Leeds.
The 1921 census suggests that James had been recently in the army. If he had served in the First World War he would have been demobbed sometime after 1919 but if injured may have been in hospital after then. Unfortunately, unlike his brother’s, his army records have not survived.
