FamilySearch has tax assessment records for Boston.
1898 shows him as age 45 and occupation is sales
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6NX9-37FM

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6NDV-2364

the address on that tax record is 810 Huntington Avenue, which is not that far from his address when his son was born, 1218 Washington St. Or the address of the Justice of the Peace who married them, 358 Columbus Avenue.

-----------
he is not in the Boston City directory as Gutman or Guttman for the years 1896 to 1900. but then, neither was the barber.

Amelia is also indexed for her marriage with a surname of Dodgson.
to a spouse named Devaney, June Quarter of 1937, volume 9d, page 687


and the image for Walter says "Dodgson or Keenan" June 1937, volume 9d page 657

I don't know enough about the British civil registrations to know why the page numbers aren't the same.

edited to add:
the mother's maiden name on the 3 births was Keenan.

Just from looking at his censuses, Nichol Main was not in the sciences. Chief supervisor of cooks in 1880, superintendent at P.P.C. Co in 1900, railroad superintendent in 1910. I don't know what P.P.C was.

edited to add:
it was the Pullman Palace Car Company.

there are a couple of obits for James in the Washington papers in 1894 at newspapers.com but I don't have a subscription.

couldn't attach this to the last post because the form thought I had already sent it. I had to edit the post after attaching, but before posting. Maybe the first version is somewhere in the rootschat stratosphere somewhere. anyway I renamed it and will try again.
