Looking for POPE family of England (James & Ella)?

Question:

Looking for POPE family of England (James & Ella)?

I'm trying to trace the background of my grandfather, James Edward(?) Pope, married to Ella Alice Evans. Have had no luck finding anyone through searches of various genealogy sites and/or records listings, not even family members still living! We suspect my grandfather's name was changed at some point, but have no proof of that. I would very much appreciate anything that would give me a starting point, as my grandfather never mentioned his family at all, and I am unable to find a marriage record, or even a listing of his or her deaths.

I have tried to use my mother as a starting point, as I know her birthdate, but can't find her (she's still alive). I have my grandmother's birth & death dates & locations, but can't find her either. Is it possible I'm looking in the wrong places? or incorrectly? I have tried Ancestry.com, Genuki, and many others, with no success.
