So now that I am actually sitting at my genealogy computer I can add some details about James. He is said to have been born in Dublin, Ireland 15 December 1884. It is unknown how he got to the US; however, his daughter Patricia said that he jumped ship of the cost of Nova Scotia and then made his way across Canada to Manitoba (or Ontario or Saskatchewan) and then dropped down into North Dakota. He married Patricia's mother Agnes Wilkie of the Turtle Mountain band of Chippewa (Ojibwa) on 20 October 1922. Unfortunately, James had contracted syphilis as a young man and it was never treated. He died 14 April 1946 in Jamestown, Rolette County, North Dakota, in the state hospital.
I am looking for James and his life before getting into North Dakota. The marriage license says that he is from Fargo, North Dakota; however, at this time I am unable to find any record of him living there.
Someone please help!!
