Given that James was probably born before his parents marriage, then I would go for this as his death. Several James Brown's born Gateshead RD 1872/3, but no James Caldwell

I did wonder about this one, having looked for a marriage for Isabella in the event George had died, but seems a bit unlikely in that there is no sign of James or Eliza:

Kim, have you looked for a death for George (I assume it is George not Jacob?).
Jan

was just going to say, there is a Jacob Caldwell death Gateshead in 1878.
wondered if the second child was the daughter of George and not Jacob, but that marriage puts that right out the window lol
