Use some of thme to find James' birth certificate. NB if he was aged 2 in 1901, he would have been born in either 1898 or 1899, so you need to search both years. The birth certificate will tell you Catherine's maiden name, and the date and place of her marriage to William. The 1911 census might tell you in more detail where Catherine was born. You should have enough credits to look that up as well. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
