Somehow I'm not surprised that James McKee the sailor is James McCabe the policeman Well done bbart
Regarding James McCabe's Co. Monaghan connection- the clipping sounds as though fellow policeman accompanied the body back to Monaghan for burial (as a sort of guard of honour) and he could quite possibly be buried with family there. It's possible that one or both parents were already dead. He may or may not have had siblings.
There may well have been an announcement of his death in the local Monaghan paper but it's possible that paper/issue is not online.
Do we know what religion James McCabe was? if Protestant perhaps one reason he and Annie didn't marry.
Off to Monaghan (in a manor of speaking) to check on a few things I saw earlier
