County Kildare, Ireland. He was immigrating to the United States. To pay for
the trip his oldest daughter Margaret arrived approximately a year earlier in
New Haven, Connecticut. After a certain time period in New Haven James was to
send for the rest of his family to join Margaret and him.
He boarded the Titanic at Queesntown as a third
class passenger (ticket number330911 £7 16s 7d).
He died in the sinking. His body was later recovered by the MacKay
