I think chances are he was born William James but by the time of marriage he just went by the name James?

He is James in 1901, not William James.  In 1911 his wife Mary completed the census.

That's what I found too

Possibly she was informant on his death as well.

they had a son, William James, so perhaps she got muddled and thought it was her husband's full name too

There might be a newspaper article about his death in May but I can't find it. He got kicked in the stomach by a horse on the farm he worked
