What happened to James Margerum?

[WendyPusey]

My OH's Grandmother had an elder brother James Allen Margerum. He was born 1874 Weeley, Essex, to Parents - James and Emma Margerum.

1881 -1901 Census - he is unmarried, living with parents at 45 Thorpe Road, Weeley, Essex

1911 census - parents still at same address, no sign of James.

Both parents died in January 1931. James did not attend Mother's funeral. All other family members did, even those who came over from Canada.

Can't find a death for him either.:confused::confused::(:(

Can anyone find either his death, or anything which can help me track him down.

Could be Jay. If it is him, then where is he in 1911, I wonder?

[JayG]

Try James Allen MARGERISON on the advanced 1911 search :)

Ah he doesn't look like he was born in Essex tho :(

Good heavens - is he related to those people named Armageddon Margerum??? Surely Armageddon has to be on a list of obscure forenames?

[WendyPusey]

I haven't come across Armageddon Margerum in this tree Merry.:d:d:d

The father of the earliest one I happened to look at (1841 census) was a Baptist Minister. Made me wonder what his sermons were like?!!

Just found a James Albert Margerum born 1876 Camberwell, so this death could be his.:(
