Thank you again for the fab info but it is Clara's family that I research rather than James's. Clara is the second eldest child of William Anthony and Mary Jane. Their 4th child William George Edward is my Great Grandfather. Until today, for a while now I had been unable to identify the correct Clara and the correct Florence (older sister) after 1901 but now have both of them on 1911!

Thank you - I have been using ancestry and can view everything else but it isn't letting me see anything on trees. Maybe there is a bug?

Thank you for your help! I had seen the marriage and put 2 and 2 together but seeing the info from the tree giving her middle name as Priscilla confirms this is the right people. I am not able to access ancestry trees though which is a pain so if you are able to offer any more assistance on James and Clara, death dates or children etc. I would be super appreciative!
