Family Search has a birth for John Evan James in 1873 Dudley RD which is the RD for Tipton - I had hoped it would be John Edward.

However - 1881 only has one match for a John James with a mother Sarah and that's the entry you already have

There are 2 marriages in 1900 on freebmd - John Evans James and John Ernest James - both in the Dudley RD

There is a public tree on Ancestry which shows Edward's death as January 1899 in Aston Warwickshire but the source is just freebmd

In the 1901 census there is a John James b Tipton born abt 1875 living in Tipton, 20 Hock St,  with his wife Martha and 3 children.  Marriage John James and Martha Wilde, Dudley RD, Q3 1896.

If this is Edward and Sarahs son, they are not with him ...
