James was born at 10 Falkner Street, Liverpool, in 1876. In 1881 (aged four), he was living at 44 Orell Park with his father, mother, his younger brothers Charles F. S., Thomas P. C., and Francis D. M., and two great-aunts, Mary Denton (age 72)[Is this Mary Hezelwood?] and Isabella Hazlewood (age 72).[3]

In 1891 the family had expanded to include three more brothers, William D. H., Jonathan Tong, and Henry B. R.[4]

He married Kathleen Munday in Wandsorth (second quarter) 1914.[5]

Later, they lived at 26 Devonshire Road, Birkenhead, with his wife Kathleen and their family (Bertam Mead, Ralph Munday and Virginia).

He worked as an average adjuster for nearly 50 years with Messrs. Henry M.Loftus and Son and retired in 1950. In 1925 he was the Chairman of the Association of Average Adjusters (presided over the annual dinner at the Princes Hotel, Piccadilly, 8 May 1925.)

James died on 30 September 1958, at 23 Lemsford Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire.[6] At this time, they were living at 47 West Way, Harpenden. Kathleen died five years later.
