I think the 1896 James is correct:
Nottingham Evening Post - Monday 31 December 1923
SIX MONTHS FOR REFLECTION:
"You have made a very bad beginning and I hope the sentence will enbale you to think over your past life and become honest in the future" said Sir L Rolleston today at the Notts. Quarter sessions to James Edwin Francis, cowman, who pleaded guilty to breaking and entering two dwelling houses at Attneborough, and stealing various articles belonging to Henry John Gibbons and Thomas Mason Day.
Supt. Neate said prisoner was a native of Shrewsbury and went to Daybrook at an early age. He served in the Durham Light Infantry and was discharged on account of gas poisoning for which he was granted a pension of 16s. a week. He had had various kinds of employment including that of farm labourer at Barton. He was a married man with one child, and was living apart from his wife. There were three previous convictions.
Prisoner was sent to gaol for six months.

This might explain James children with his later partner:
Nottingham Evening Post - Wednesday 08 January 1930
Castle Donnington- Mother's false information
A single woman, Dorothy Gwendoline Astle, living with a married man at Wesleyan School-yard, Castle Donnington, was bound over for 12 months at Loughborough today on a charge of giving false information when registering the birth of her child...
Mr W A Allsopp, registrar of the sub district Castle Donnington said that on September 27th 1929 defendant entered the office giving her name as Dorothy Lucy Francis, formerly Wright. She registered the child as Edward Harold, the father being James Edward Francis.
Defendant, in reply to the chairman, had said she had thought it would be best for the children's sake.
Answering the clerk she said she had lived with the man for six years, and they had four children, two of whom were registered in the same way as this. She wished these cases to be taken into consideration.
-----------------------------------------
So Dorothy Gwendoline Astle pretended to be Lucy Wright (James' legal wife) when she registered the children.
