{Note the deduction Amy Curtis was married to Ernest Stephen James is based on the following.
Amy James in the 1939 England and Wales Register shares the same birthdate as Amy Curtis. Since I can find only 1 other Amy born on the same day this is a likely match.
2. The marriage of Amy Curtis and Ernest Stephen James is in the same area of Manchester as where they were both born, they lived in the 1911 census and the 1939 England and Wales Register.
3. To be 100% certain Instead of 98%) I would need to find the Parish record for their marriage or some other document.]
