JAYNES or James ? (General)

Thanks for your help on this one Slowhands. When I was originally told by my great-Aunt - "my mums mum was Emily Jaynes" I thought I had heard her say Emily James - but couldn't find one that fitted on the 1881 census, also couldn't find the correct marriage. I found a marriage, and am sending for the certificate tomorrow because the transcription gave her name as Jaynes but as you said, and as I thought I had originally heard, it could have been mistranscribed and may infact be James. Does that make sense? It is definately the correct husband on this one so I think it is a case of lets wait and see for the cert to arrive! I have to say though, I thought that if she was indeed James and not Jaynes that her parents were possibly William and Ann - this you confirmed in your thoughts above.

Anymore help that you can give with this family would be much appreciated!!!
