I am seeking information on my gr uncle=James Maguire b. 1894?? brother of my grandfather Peter Maguire b 1896 in South Shields-parents were James and Margaret Doherty Maguire. other siblings-Mary Ellen m Hugh Egan and Ann-m ?? Miller, then Norman Crotzer. Peter, his mother Margaret, sister Ann imm to the USA in 1922, his sister Mary Ellen Egan, husb Hugh, dtrs Annie and Margaret imm with my grandmother Edith Dick-in 1923, Edith and Peter were married in NY as soon as she got here. James m a Lily Simpson about 1915, had 3 children, John, and 2 girls-perhaps Lola and ??-all born before 1920-one had a birthdate of May 4(same as mine) He lived in Sunderland and was a police officer there. My grandparents, and my mother Margaret returned in 1936, my grandfather went to the police station in Sunderland and tried to find his brother-all they could or would tell him was that he was no longer there. They returned to the United States and he was never able to find James-despite other family members-cousins still in England seeking him. It was thought that he went to London?? Any ideas-my Mother-still wonders what ever happened to the uncle she never met, and we would like to make contact if there is any family. Any help is greatly appreciated.
