James married Sarah Kathleen Payne on January 1, 1910, in Wentworth, Ontario, Canada.
When Sarah Kathleen Payne was born on June 22, 1888, in Ontario, Canada, her father, Joseph Robert Payne was 24, and her mother, Sarah (nee McDonald), was 25.
Sarah and James had four children over 24 years:
- James Alfred (1910-1975)
- William Anthony (1915-1973)
- Frederick Allan Webb (stillborn April 28, 1933)
- Sadie Elizabeth (1934-2008) (who married Kenneth Thompson)
*Note: After writing this post, I connected with Sadie's daughter. Sadie and her husband are buried at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens in Stoney Creek.
In 1911, shortly after their marriage, James and Sarah are living with James Jr. at 86 Wellington Street in Hamilton (the record does not reflect whether this is Wellington North or South, but we can confer it was North because James Jr.'s birth record reflects 85 Wellington Street North. Neither of the homes are still standing). In 1911, James is working in a grocery (James Jr.'s birth record confirms this as his father's occupation is listed as a "carter" which suggests that he was delivering groceries).

James died on February 22, 1972, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, at the age of 84.
The couple are buried in Woodland Cemetery (Section 20, Lot 108 (west grave)). The record suggests "James Edward Webb of 51 Douglas Street purchased this 30-square foot, single grave in April 1947. There are two burials at this grave." The stone reads "WEBB, James E., 1887-1972, hus. of Sarah K. PAYNE, 1890-1947."
