On the 1920 census a James J Sullivan    is listed as stepson.

On the Coroner's report a Jas J Sullivan (stepson) is listed as witness.

Just looked at that - he was born Ireland, so looks the correct one.

Just looked at that - he was born Ire land, so looks the correct one.
I notice he died 12th April 1926 & the find a grave has a date of November 1926 - Is this odd?
