Hello Julie,
Thanks. Yes, 1903-1925.
Hmmm... I know why I didn't find his death last time I looked. To reduce the number of William JAMES from 5 pages of hits I entered his father as Thomas but no parents listed. Curious as he had five siblings living in Queensland.
Death 1927/B0664 William Vaughan James - -
The Brisbane Courier (Qld. : 1864 - 1933) - Saturday 9 April 1927 p.16
DEATHS
JAMES.-On 22nd March, at Brisbane Hospital, William Vaughan, beloved husband of Agnes James, aged 76 years.
If you remove those with a middle initial not V then you are left with 26 William JAMES on the shipping records to Queensland. However there is only one before 1871 so this could be the one:
JAMES William 20 Flying Cloud 30 Aug 1870 IMM/114 36 Z1958 M1697
No Ann/Anne/Annie on the same vessel.
If the marriage was on 1st July and James arrived on 30 August I suppose it is possible. ???
EDIT: I wonder if we have two William Vaughan JAMES and the one in my tree didn't marry in 1870.
Regards,
Dave
