Hi Rachael, as you would imagine trying to find a James Brown is not the easiest of searches to carry out!
This is at present is the only likely James I have located in 1901:-
James Brown 13 occ Scholar b Parish Not Known, London
Residing Upton House, Truant School, Urswick Road, Homerton N E, Hackney.
Census Ref RG13/221/112/2
Also if the Charles = Thomas, then it seems unlikely he would still be around in 1901?
