From GlosBMD site (includes Register Office Marriages unlike this FoD site), I wonder if this is your James too ?:

Marriage Details
Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry
WHITSON James EVANS Mary Forest of Dean Westbury-on-Severn (FoD) Register Office 1890 9 64
http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/SimpleSearch.aspx

???

NB: I have been searching other spelling variations including Jas but with only this additional hit so far from GlosBMD:

Marriage Details
Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry
WITSON James HERBERT Tabitha Forest of Dean Drybrook Holy Trinity 1868 1 447

Sorry I cannot search 1891 Census etc.

Hope this helps & rewards your further searching.
