The next time I can get to the Newcastle library I will check the Evening Chronicle just in case. However, I think if he died in Seaham any notice might be in another newspaper which will not be at the library. I am not sure but perhaps the Sunderland newspaper, if this might be sold in Seaham.
I hope there might be a RootsChatter who might know if this might know if the Sunderland newspaper is sold there.
Also, if so, possibly if there might be a RootsChatter in the Sunderland area they might be willing to check for a notice in the Sunderland local studies.
I am not sure where someone in the Seaham area might be buried/cremated? I have feeling in might be outside the area records held by Tyne and Wear Archives.
In your and Elliesboys enquiries, at least you know from your other thread that James' war service record shows that he had a finger or two amputated. This should certainly help in identifying if Thomas was really James if you can locate someone who might have known him.
I will get back at some point in the next few weeks when I can next fit in with Newcastle libraries opening times and have checked the EC paper.
