  4. It appears that this is not the first marriage for at least one of James or Catherine. James was first married at age 22, which would put the year around 1909, while Catherine was first married at age 19 suggesting a year around 1911. More info needed to nail down, but all might be consistent based on uncertainty in birth years.
