Re your PM James C fthr and Mary A mthr are shown on 1901 census living in South Willingham, Lincs. with family. One Son is recorded as Henry A b. abt.1893. Have looked closely at this entry and I think it should be Henry C ( have amended ancestry) He is recorded as born Saltfleetby, All Saints. Is this your man?
