Are you sure his middle name was James? This is the only birth I can see for a Henry J. Keepen:-

Name: KEEPEN, Henry John
Registration District: Bath
County: Somerset
Year of Registration: 1888
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's Maiden Name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume No: 5C

This Henry John was in Fulham in the 1911 census.

I still can't see a death for him. Do you know when he was last known to be alive? Did he go to war?

There is a death for a Hannah Keepen in Lancashire but my subscription to Ancestry has run out so I can't see the details of when it was.

Did Henry move around the country a lot?

The death cert for Hannah should say if she was wife or widow of Henry. Would tie down a year he was around still or not
