Early life
- Born about 1877, his parents having married at Fort William in 1875.[2]
- Son of George Marcell (died 1890) and Annie Jane Marcell (1859–1956).[2]
- His father died in 1890, when he was about 13.[2]
Family
- Living at Sioux Lookout in March 1956, when he was named as one of two surviving sons in his mother's obituary; his brother Charles Marcell was then at Vancouver.[2]
Death
- Died 6 December 1959, the place of death being recorded as Sioux Lookout.[1]
Identification
The identification with the son named in the 1956 obituary rests on three points. His recorded birth year of about 1877 follows immediately on his parents' marriage at Fort William in 1875. His place of death is recorded as Sioux Lookout, the residence given for the son in the obituary three years earlier, and Sioux Lookout is an unusual residence in the Fort William death index. Marcell is a small Fort William family and no second James Marcell appears in the indexed record of the period.
