He married about 1888, according to the 1911 census but it was 14 November 1887 when he married Isabella Duff at South Shields, St. Mary.( S. Shields 10a 976)
In 1901 he was living at 64, Rose Street, Hebburn with his wife Isabella, four sons and two daughters. Also with them is 29 year old Robert L. Lazenby, who is listed as son. This seems to be an error as James was only 14 and his wife 10 when Robert was born, he may be an adopted son. James is working as a Cemetery Labourer and Robert is a Cemetery Gardner.
