some additional clues.... the 1930 Federal census shows James and family living next to a brother named Denis born c1880, as mentioned in the Ellis Island record. It also states that James and Frances were aged 30 and 20 respectively when they married - so c1900/1901

haven't located any possible marriage on the BMD Index yet...

There's a possible match for the family of James & Denis in the extracted records on FamilySearch - years of birth are close -

James Wright / 01 Mar 1870 / Castleconnor, Co. Sligo
Denis Wright / 19 May 1879 / Leaffory, Co. Sligo

Parents are Patt Wright & Bridget Devenny. There are a number of other children listed for this couple - see : https://www.familysearch.org/search/records/index#count=20&a...

Patrick & Bridget are listed on the two Irish census returns at Leaffony townland near Easkey, Co. Sligo -
1901 : http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Sligo/Easky...
1911 : http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Sligo/Easky...

p.s. the Ellis Island records for James mentions a more detailed place of birth for him - Inniscrone (Co. Sligo)
