To take the Census entries a little further:-

GR 1901 Census, Blaisdon, Tanhouse

Harriett HILL, Head, M, 56. Dairy Manageress, b. Glos, Newent
John, Son, S, 26, Carpenter, Glos. Dymock
Mary, Daur, S, 25, Draper’s Assistant, Glos. Dymock
Frances, Daur, S, 19, Dairymaid, Glos. Dymock

Harriett does not style herself a widow but, otherwise, this fits with the burial of James Joseph the elder at Blaisdon.

GR 1911 Census, The Cottage, Culvert Street, Newent

Harriet HILL, Head, 66. Widow, b. Glos. Newent
Sarah THURSTON, Sister, 73, Glos. Newent

There is also this James HILL:-

GR 1911 Census, 32 Market Street, Ironville, Nr. Alfreton

James KEMP, Head, 42, Mar, House painter and decorator, b. Ironville, Derbyshire
Elizabeth, Wife, 47, Codnor, Derbyshire
Mabel M A, Daur, 22, Assistant Teacher, Ironville, Derbyshire
James HILL, Boarder, 33, Single, Bricklayer’s Labourer, Glos. Newent

The age fits but, unfortunately, there was another James HILL born in Newent about 1877/8.

The first post indicated emigration to Australia or Nova Scotia. It would be interesting to know the source of this information.
