Lauren, I've followed the same line as you and come to the same conclusions, have gone back to 1841.

The only thing I can suggest is getting Sophia's birth cert, or one of her siblings, to see what father's name is given.

It may be that he was William James, or James William, and was known by whichever name he preferred.

Could be just a simple mistake on the marriage register.
