We have found a second James Priestley with similar details however he is not the one we are looking for.
Our James disappears around 1900/01 on the 1901 census Lily is still married, by 1911 she is a widow but we cannot find any relevant information pointing to his death date/location or cause.

He would have been in his early thirties at the time of the boer war ?
