James parents were originally from Manchester and Staffordshire, and had a stationary business in Hartlepool. When his father Walter died, his mother Elizabeth operated a glass and china dealership in which his sisters worked. James was an electrical engineer and spent a lot of time in Africa.
Mary Isabella’s father Thomas was born in Hartlepool and was a marine engine fitter and worked in a supervisory role at Richardsons Westgarth. His family were originally from Gateshead and Northumberland.
