The James Barton in Hampshire is down as single, so not likely to be your man.

Hi Stephanie

You might want to order the marriage cert. This would give you James' fathers name (hopefully), might be able to find him on an earlier census with parents.

There is a James Barton on 1901c in Hampshire at the Royal Military Barracks, but no way to know if yours.

Could he have been in the army and been away in the Boer War, as going by his wife's age, he would seem about the right age for this?
