Hi again so as to make the task a little easier, what evidence do you have that her father was a James?
Also what trade was James in?

James came from her marriage certificate to Joseph Jeffreys and James was a shepherd
Clare was born in 1885 and not 1859 as I last said

Hi Boxted Boy - please could you lay out the key facts again - something isnt gelling - is this the marriage  you mean? Was Clara her Maiden name, or had she previously married?

That explains her absence in 1891 ...  ;D

I agree about the non gelling

Where did her year of birth of 1885 come from? Was she 35 when she married Jeffries then? And as Mort says was she spinster or widow?

Hmmmmmm, was Joseph actually JOSEPH ERNEST NEWTON Jeffry ? born c1883 Little Clacton ?

So this is more likely to be the Marriage ...

Marriages Dec 1905 
 
GOLDSMITH  Henry George    Tendring  4a 1213   
JEFFREY  Joseph Ernest N     Tendring  4a 1213   
RIDGION  Ada Maud     Tendring  4a 1213   
SAWYER  Clara May     Tendring  4a 1213   


I believe she may have been born c1886 in Suffolk ....


Births Dec 1885   
 
Sawyer  Clara May    Plomesgate  4a 832



Pretty sure that this is her - despite forename difference - in 1891... in the Tendring District already ..

RG12; Piece: 1405; Folio 119; Page 5 Thorington, Essex
