James Duffy light weight boxer and navy man New Jersey! Have you seen him?

Question

James Duffy born in NJ/NY abt 1900-1935 and not sure if he died. He was a light weight boxer and also served in the Navy. I have 2 different stories on how he died. One he was killed in a fight in North Jersey the other he died from a blood disease. (geesh) and now a third story which I am told Is the truth. James Duffy was incarcerated around 1956-1960 for murder in a bar fight someplace in North Jersey. He was the nephew of Kitty and Frank Campbell in Belmar NJ. He was married in Neptune NJ to my mother who is still living but has memory issues. He was nicknamed Red.... loved to gamble and to cook. Any leads would be appreciated more than you know. I have been looking for him for 20 years. I have uploaded a pic . Blessings

Hi Wayne,

Been awhile. I found out some interesting things that may help me but not sure where to start. I do not have a middle name or any numbers for him. I do know he was incarcerated around 1956-1960ish. Seems I was misinformed for many years. He was charged with murder in a bar fight in North Jersey. He was in Trenton state prison or Rahway but I cannot go back that far in records. He probably did drink quite a bit as I was told he loved to gamble. He was supposedly several years older than my mother whose bd is 4/1/1937 (mine is 9/19/57). He should be in the census but I am not sure where he lived besides Belmar/Neptune...all the shore areas in NJ. I thank you for asking these question....sorry it took so long .
