Well, there you go. I have read the piece about the birth discrepancy and his name. I thought the name Bulmer would produce something, and it did, a James Bulmer Johnson born in Yorkshire and in the RA. Seems like the whole thing got very confused.
The local newspaper report in 1943 about his funeral, states that he was 55, and the only family member present was his bro in law, W R Dodd of Whitley Bay. A wreath had been sent by his sister Chris. This ties back to the family you've identified Coquet, a sister, Christina, also born in Widdrington.
