James and Elizabeth Cunningham: Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio ***COMPLETED***

[Chiad Fhear]

Hi there

I'm back again and in need of a wee bit more help 

James Cunningham Black was born on 21 September 1882 in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, and married Elizabeth Marr on 05 March 1912 in St Andrews, Fife.

The sailed from Glasgow on 2 April 1921 to New York, USA, on board the S.S. "Massilia" destination Cleveland, Ohio, and appear in the:
1930 Fifteenth Census of the United States residing at 262 Maple Road, Cleveland Heights, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, then again in the:
1940 Sixteenth Census of the United States residing at 216 Wood Road, Cleveland Heights, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio

They had 2 daughters, born in Cleveland, Ohio in about 1922 and 1927. Both are included in the above Census returns.

I believe James and Elizabeth both died in the USA and it's their details I'm stuck with.

Can anyone help?
