  There is a very extensive coverage of St James headstones at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~framland/tmi.htm

There is a picture of that of a George Wilson but I could not read the inscription to see whether Sophie was also mentioned.  However my grandparents are buried there together and the site mentions only my grandmother.

Thanks for that.  George died in 1897 and according to the burial register he was buried in st james.  His wife sophia followed him in 1913.  Interestingly enough sophia's father Joseph Lister is also buried there.  A photo of Joseph's gravestone is also featured.
