Did they wed or just jump the broomstick?
 Is she alive at 1911 and is she consistent with age and birthplace?

Well I have her in 1911 with Joe and the kids and the birth places are the same .
I know this information is correct as my dad did the research but we now have no access to any of it !! I was hoping there might be another james or smith with some information as I've seen quite a few james posting lol - I'm new to this so am struggling

She's a different age with a  different birthplace between 1901 and 1911.
Was she alive in 1939 to get another opinion?

This is the problem Pauline
I haven't got that far back yet - I'm basically piecing together bits of my dad's stuff and other people who had info but none on rebecca.  I keep wondering if she wasn't really a smith ?!

An online tree  implies that they were not married.so going to be difficult for further information about her.
Says Rebecca dies in 1948, age 73 in Surrey, as James.
Tree owner is a Carol Smith.

Is Vertina down as Britannia James in 1939, living in the New Forest?
