Thanks for looking Rose! My eyes are starting to cross. I think it's close to what you say, but so hard to read.

Cassy, we crossed posts!
Good god, how did you do that? Brilliant piece of research, thank you so much. This plus Rose's marriage find has solved my whole problem for me.
A million thanks both.

Thank you Rose.
Not sure about the 1891 - James was born in Birmingham and there is no evidence of Emily or Eleanor in 1881. Hard to say, but I do not think it is him. And Rowland seems to have disappeared completely!
But the marriage looks good. Whatever is wrong with me? Need sleep I think (what's that? No time for sleep when there is research to be done!)
Many thanks for your help.

Thank you Cassie! That's brilliant, now I have a marriage to look for too.
James was a silversmith so that clinches it.
I had looked for Roland/Rowland but specified his birthplace as Birmingham - an interesting transcription there!
Much appreciated.
