James arrived in Canada about 1888.
In 1901, he was in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. He was working as an accountant.
James first appeared in the Vancouver directories in 1904. He was rooming at 537 West Hastings Street, and he was the secretary of the Vancouver, Western and Yukon Railway.
From 1904 to 1940, he was at the following addresses in Vancouver.

Marriage to Maggie Sherborne
On January 21, 1908, at Merry Island, near the Sechelt Peninsula, James married Margaret (“Maggie”) Alice Maude Sherborne. The wedding was at the home of William Thomas Franklin (1868-1955) and his wife, Mary Ann Clachar (1865-1941). Will Franklin was the lighthouse keeper on Merry Island from about 1904 to 1932.
Maggie was born in England on March 5, 1875. (Some sources say she was born in Bristol, but most others agree that she was born in Paulton, Somerset.) Her parents were Henry Sherborne (1840-1918) and Eulalia Susan Sherborne (1838-1889).

James and Maggie in Vancouver
After their marriage, James and Maggie lived in Vancouver.
For several years, James was with the Vancouver, Victoria and Yukon Railway Company and its associated businesses.
His relationship with the railway company ended about 1915. From then on, the Vancouver directories show that he had a series of short employments with various businesses.
| 1919 | accountant with Canadian Export and Import Company |
| 1921 | secretary-treasurer of Handy Bay Cold Storage and Fish Company |
| 1922 | accountant with Rand Tyre Company |
| 1923 | accountant with Willis Piano Company |
| 1924 and 1925 | Accountant, though not with a specific company |
| 1926 | cabinet maker with “R Manufacturing Company” |
| 1927 | general accountant |
It appears that James and Maggie lived apart for various periods in the 1930s. In 1940, James stayed for a time at the Alcazar Hotel on Dunsmuir Street in Vancouver.
James died in Kaslo, British Columbia on July 9, 1940. He was buried in Nelson Memorial Park in Nelson, British Columbia.
Maggie died in Essondale, British Columbia, on April 22, 1954. She was buried in Ocean View Burial Park in Burnaby, British Columbia.
James and Maggie had the following children.

Howard Irving Jeffrey
Howard Irving Jeffrey was born in British Columbia in July 1910. (The 1911 Canada census gives his name as William, but this appears to be an anomaly.)
He worked as a clerk for the Imperial Bank of Canada.
On June 4, 1949, in Victoria, British Columbia, he married Orleane Roberta Paterson. She was born in Victoria on November 9, 1921. Her parents were Robert Alexander Paterson (1892-1954) and Marguerite Taylor.
Howard continued to work as a banker for the rest of his career. He and Orleane lived in Victoria, Vancouver, and Jasper, Alberta.
In 1967 they moved to Calgary. In 1972, Howard was a branch manager in Calgary.
