Sorry Jen I did not go looking to see if it had been posted before on here (It would have taken ages  ;D ) but it did answer Davy's question

She must have had something about her then  :D   :D

John found it first.  ;)    I only found it as it was the top item when I put 'Jacob Coulthard' into google



An oddity
Mention in the newspapers preview of Mrs Colthard, 31, River View, Blackhall Mill, Hamsterley. She had received word that her husband Jacob had been wounded in 1915. He was in the Royal Navy, and died. Name is actually Coulthard
Jacob Coulthard (1884-1915)

Earlier on you said that James and Martha were found together in the 1939 register, so you could see his age from that  ;)

When did she remarry?

Just searching for that now Liz

Just about to say the same, Jen. If I'm looking at the right one, 5 years younger.

Perhaps your course of action now Davy is to add all of this information to your tree then you can see clearly what you do not have  ;D
