Thank you to all of you for taking the time for looking at this for me.
I hadn't realised at the time of posting that Mary had registered James' death as it has been a long time since i have been able to access my paper copies as they were in storage.
Whilst Hinton is not a common surname it is very easy to mis-transcribe.
Since my original post, and again thanks for all the hints, I've managed to place Charles Reuben Hinton and Amos Taylor at Tollsworth Cottages 1922-1925
I'll also look at the other children to see if Mary resided with them during that period and order a marriage certificate for her to check her father was Mathews
many thanks again
