There is no death https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Search/Search?Path=querySubmit.m%3fReportName%3dDeathSearch%26recordsPP%3d30#SearchResults

that fits those parameters .

There is a marriage, but I think he is one of the ones that turned up on the death search and is not the right age.

Some information on James,
Born in Dumbarton,may be a Bricklayer?
Parents are Charles and Sarah McCurley.
I have accounted for his siblings.
However I cannot find any other information on James in Scotland.
He may be the person on irelands 1911 census,scullion family are his relatives
