Mmm...could be but not sure

Me neither,

Have gone back and looked at the 1901. Had a check of all the Mary James in oldbury born about the same time, No one else claims to have been born in Oldbury,

Looks like a marriage look up is required

Nice one cid

Here's the Mary I found in 1911, in 1891 Bloxcidge Street, Oldbury

MORRISS, Hannah Head Single F 37 1854 Clerk Brickworks Oldbury Worcestershire
MORRISS, Elizabeth Sister Single F 35 1856 Living On Own Means Oldbury Worcestershire
JONES, Mary Stepsister Single F 49 1842 Living On Own Means Oldbury Worcestershire
SPRATLING, Wilfred G Nephew M 12 1879 Scholar Langley Worcestershire
SPRATLING, Kathleen J Niece F 6 1885 Scholar Langley Worcestershire

So this Mary Jones POSSIBLY marries someone whose surname is James and is living with him in 1901, and then back here in 1911 as a widow

I have checked, and Mary is not with Elizabeth in 1901.
