I posted details of the census in reply #1 where, as you pointed out, James is a bricklayer.

I wondered if anyone has found a marriage for the James whose death and burial has been found so that the father’s name could be ascertained.

There may be more than one possibility for James McCurley. I posted a record for McCurry in case there were misspellings too. I think that record is not relevant though.

Thanks for all replies.
I have tried various posts on rootschat to find James.
I cannot find James in ww1 records also I have no other information about him.
Thanks
