:-D :-D

Thanks Choccy - it's a possibility I suppose, although I can't get passed this school of thought that he passed before 1918. The war records that I've seen show quite a few James Joyce's but many have very little information that ties them back to specific people, i.e. no birth year, parents, birth place - all of which would help greatly.

Someone must know of his death. It's a quandary. :-(

Paul, use the contact details on http://www.bhsproject.co.uk/index.shtml and ask if they have an email for Paul and if a message could be forwarded to him, and maybe also ask for a post to be put on their "seeking" page asking for info?

I've looked at the CWGC and though there are some deaths I don't feel any of them matches up...my thought would be, and it is just a guess, that James did perhaps disappear around the WW1 period, but maybe had not died?

If it were me I would have to buy that marriage cert to Rebecca and see if that James gives his father;s name and his occupation, and whether anything ties in.
