Hello and welcome 

Are you sure that James in 1911 is your James?Have you checked 1911 census?
We aren't allowed to publish many details from the 1911 census on this forum but I don't think he is a sailor 
Where were the children born and where did Johanna die?
What are you looking for in connection with James?

Regards
Heywood

Katherine married in 1905.   https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F6HF-SJ7

She possibly emigrated in 1900 from Waterford if that is her on Ellis Island site.

There is also a daughter, Margaret https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FG6P-CJF

We are allowed to post what is available in the free indexes for 1911 but not allowed to do searches. As you have searched yourself, then that is permissible I believe.

Is this the man you have seen?

I don't think he is a Sailor. I wonder if he is this James Deegan from 1901?

James Deegan 41 yrs Tailor's cutter born Ireland. He is with a wife Sarah and several children.
On one daughter's marriage certificate, he is a Tailor.

Tailor/Sailor?

Have you looked for James in Waterford? Do you know what happened to the other children? Did they emigrate?
