Despite the large age gap between children Caroline and Maria, the GRO online index has no other children born during that gap or between the marriage and 1844. Of course quite a few children went unregistered in the early days of BMD registration, possibly James and Maria had one or more before 1844 who were born and died between the 1841 or 1851 censuses.
