Possible death in 1924 aged 70

Only missing from 1891 by my reckoning when he should have been married about 3 years, certainly with one kid

This is a possible, but I think Geoff's findings negate it?

Hmmm ... there were two of them, both apparently involved with large hammers and hitting bits of metal.

Hi Audrey,
Which Child of James are you descended from?
Do you have his M/C with his Father as James a Boilmaker or similar?
