I cannot find her in the Weston-super-Mare Cemetery. Although her death was registered in the Weston District that did cover a fairly large area. The parishes included in that District can be seen here so you can see it would be helpful to have a copy of her death certificate to narrow down the search.
I am puzzled by your mention of "Saltley" - I'm not sure what that refers to - there is no town of Saltley in Somerset - where did you find this? Was JAMES her married name?
Thank you very much for your help. James was her married name and I do not have her maiden name, as yet but there is the suggestion it could be Hollier as a woman named Mary Hollier is name in the household of Rosina in the 1911 England Census and her age suggests she could be a parent. In the 1901 England Census, Saltley was given as the Town's name, County: Warwickshire, Civil Parish: Aston. My father-in-law, who would be her grandson, has said the family moved to Weston-super-Mare after living in Cheddar Somerset. I'm new to researching family history so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks again!

A picture of Three Military Medals of above are to be found at www.the-saleroom.com with a biography of Ewart Walter James. Quote: "Ewart Walter James was born in Cheddar, Somerset in 1897; he later moved to New Street, Little Eaton, Derby (with his parents Jesse and Rosina James). Serving with the 9th Battalion Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment he entered Galipoli on 21 August 1915. ......."
Thank you so much for the information, however I could not find the medals/picture you describe on that link. We actually have some medals of Ewart James, so I'm not sure where these are coming from......should be kept in the family.
Maybe Rosina is buried with her husband Jesse in Little Eaton, Derbyshire.
In the process of looking for herburial place, I found this following information that you may not have of her husband or children.
Saltley is in Warwickshire, their place of residency on the 1901 Census. On the 1911 Census, they are resident in Little Eaton, Derbyshire.

SUDDEN DEATH AT LITTLE EATON
Mr Jesse James of Little Eaton, died suddenly on Saturday night. He returned from Derby by the last train on Saturday evening, apparently in his usual health, but about midnight, during a fit of coughing, he broke a blood vessel, death ensueing shortly afterwards. Mr James was a well-known as a local Liberal, and was manager for Messrs. Dowding's paper mill. He leaves a widow and two children. Mr. W. Harvey Whiston, the coroner in whose district the death occurred, has decided that no inquest is necessary, and Mr. James' medical man will give the required certificate.

Thank you again for finding this information! I did have the burial site already for Ewart James and probate of wills, but the newspaper article on the death of his father Jesse James was an unexpected and welcome surprise!
