Yes Groom thats James's marriage to Elizabeth. Elizabeth died in 1899.
all i can really go on is the newspaper date of 30th March 1907, its under deaths not obituary.
Two of his children, were adopted in Upper Holloway to the Simpson family in 1901 Charles Phillip was already adopted and in the 1911 census his other brother William Gordon is also with the same family, the adopted mother was also a witness to James Hendersons marriage in 1892 to Elizabeth Malcom Mackenzie. William Gordon Henderson in 1901 was a patient at Garrow Home.

So we can rule that out as he was married to Elizabeth, unless he remarried?

I found a james Henderson in 1901 living as a boarder at 154 Cloudesley Road, Barnsbury, Islington.  the James in question was a carpenter though not a plumber but he was a widow and was aged 40.

So im not 100% convinced that it is him

If Chiswick Hospital was the one in Clayponds Lane or was actually in Chiswick then the registration district at the time would have been Brentford, now Ealing.

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/ealing.html

If you click on the link for the reg office there are contact details.

Please note they do not answer the phone ever, and the call centre will not take a message for this type of enquiry as they are so busy with recent births, deaths and marriage arrangements, so you will have to send an email asking of they have the death registration. Give all the information you have: full name, age at death and place. Explain you have the death from a newspaper article dated 30 March 1907. They will only say yes or no, if yes and you want more details you will have to pay for the cert.

This could be one of those occassions when his death entry is simply missing from the GRO index.
