Hi, this could well be the correct family. I did have an uncle james and the birth date would be about right. The mystery is the olando m 1896. My father was orlando john but he was not born until1910. I often wondered where the name came from. Maybe he is an uncle to my father although i am almost certain their were only three sons born to william james. Maybe he remarried as i was led to beleive charlotte rosina died shortly after augustus was born
