Audrey- I'm not 100% sure Hannah's sons were John's children.
They were registered in the indexes with surname Johnson- however, if Hannah was still married to John, even if the children were from another man, they would have been registered with surname Johnson.
The newspaper article re James Ashton's death refers to his two sons. He, of course, may have taken on the sons as his own, but I wouldn't discount them being his birth children.
Hannah's first son, born 1924 was called James H- also indicating he could have been James' son.
