James George William North is buried in an unmarked public grave in the West Ham Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Forest Gate, London, E7 9DG, England, Grave No. I 3 SW. No memorial stone marks his grave. On January 28, 2015, a photograph of the stone of Alice Church was added to this FAG Memorial by genealogy enthusiast Brad Evans, with this caption: "The cemetery office confirmed that James was buried in this public grave and that Alice Church was buried later. No marker exists for James." There is no known relationship between Alice Church and James George William North. James's wife, Georgeanna, is also buried in this same West Ham Cemetery, but in a different public grave, Grave No. I 48 SW., also unmarked.

Marriage Certificate No. 57, February 3, 1883: James North, age 28, bachelor, laborer, residing at Hampton Wick Terrace, Hampton Wick, England. James's father is Thomas North, deceased laborer. James married Georgeanna Clifton, age 28, spinster, servant, residing at Lower Teddington Road, Hampton Wick, England. Georgeanna's father is Hezekiah Thomas Fryer Clifton, house decorator. Wedding witnesses: Hezekiah Thomas Fryer Clifton and Sarah M. A. Clifton.

James George William North was a factory watchman in his later years. James and Georgeanna had five children: Hezekiah; Frederick; Annie; Mary; and Caroline.

James North is buried in "public grave" I 3 SW; the right of a single burial was purchased at public expense and not the rights to exclusive use. Use of public graves was common at the time and continued in the West Ham Cemetery until the 1970's when demand ceased. Ownership of public graves is vested in the Cemetery, and in the case of Grave I 3 SW, further use of the available space in the grave was subsequently made. No memorial was placed on James North's grave.

As of November 1, 2005, graves in the West Ham Cemetery more than 75 years old are to be re-used. Original remains are to be removed and re-buried at a greater depth. New occupants will then be buried on top of the older remains and older memorials may be removed to make way for the new occupant's memorial.
