They may have something tucked away.

None of his children are listed on people's trees on ths site. Although technically incorrect, you could add them to yours & hope someone related comes across your listing in the future.

Someone else has found him to be a mystery as well

I am not related to him SylviainCanada, I saw his name in a photographic book and could not find any information on the internet about him. As he is fairly local to me I wanted to find out more about his life and work.

are you related to the Blounts, or writing a book about him/them?

If related, how did you get back to him? Because in that case, you should know some of his descendants.

If you were desperate to find descendents, then the informant of the DC may be a relative.

James looks to have ended up in Birmingham:-

Age at Death: 73
Registration district: Birmingham
Inferred County: West Midlands

If you are looking for decendants then you could start by checking the names of him and his children in Search Trees to see if you come up with a match.
If you do, then contact the tree owner to see how they are related.

Had to go shopping but I see things have advanced a little.

This should rule the 1930 birth out:-

Thank you all for the fantastic information, and so quick!!
I know his brother George Wright Blount was a Chemist in Newcastle but don't know when and where he qualified. I am interested in his descendants as they may have photographs either of him or ones that he took in his profession as photographer.
Many thank for all your help.
Bob
