In 1920, he got a job aboard a ship that was leaving Ireland for America (We are unsure of the name. I will try to find it. We thought it was "The Star of India" but he got the job on a steamship not a sailing ship.). When the ship reached America, he loved it so much that he left the ship and never came back. He married Julia McCann on the 20 of June, 1922. They had two children. They went back to Ireland to raise their children and had another daughter, Benedicta, in the 1930's. Julia legally separated from him in England and their girls were put in a (foster home or something along those lines) while James was put in a different one, both of which were in Ireland. Thomas later died of esophageal cancer at West Heath Hospital in Birmingham, England.

Gravesite Details
Thank you to Jacqui for taking a picture of where the headstone would be. I contacted the cemetery's staff and they said a headstone was never put there.
