Have you searched online civil registration index for James' death? should be listed if he died in Ireland.

These are the deaths showing up on the BMD Index for a James McCann born c1876 that died between 1901 and 1911... none in Belfast or Newtownards district

  James McCann death 1901-1911

as few more come up under M'Cann, including a few in Belfast district :
 
  James M'Cann death - 1901 to 1911

p.s. FamilySearch has done some recent changes, so sometimes links dont work. If not just go to the BMD Index on FamilySearch and enter the following fields and select search :

   First Name / Last Name : James / McCann or M'Cann
   Dont enter a birth place, but put year of birth between 1872 and 1880
   Dont enter a place of death, just enter the years 1901 and 1911

This says he drowned on 14 Oct 1907. It would be worth looking at other newspapers. Normally, you get reports of funerals for priests.
