I don't know what Jame's death date , but we can't find him after his 1889 marriage, so we've listed his death date after 1889.
James is far enough off my line, that I don't intend to do extensive research to fill out his life story. Perhaps, someone descended from him would like to add more and be added onto this profile as manager?
