Being quite lucky with the Randalls.
William Randall married Hannah Lock, Wolford 7 Nov 1811
William christened 5 May 1777, son of John & Elizabeth. Buried 20 Feb 1851.
Hannah was born 1787 in Great Rollright, Oxfordshire. Buried 28 Nov 1861.
John Randall married Elizabeth Durran, Wolford 8 Feb 1777.
There are a number of John Randalls of the right age then.

The marriage certificate would give the name of their fathers.

If Ellen's father is listed as a Wire Drawer which it looks like it, then it looks like she was christened 7 Dec 1856 at St Andrew's, Bordesley.
James appears to be born 1820ish in Gloucestershire and Elizabeth's (mother) birthplace is listed as Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire.
Ages change on each census and James' birthplace is listed as Newham, Gloucs; Forest of Dean, Birmingham, Monmouthshire & Tintern Abbey. The last 2 look wrong. There is a baptism for a James Reynolds 1820 Newent, Gloucs. which could be him.

This is James Bradley (Lily's father) in 1901...
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XS75-XX5
...as you can see his second with is some years younger than him, only a few years old than his sons from his first marriage. James is listed as a miner and I think it his he who died in 1908, the death registered in the West Bromwich lists an age of 45.

Lily Bradley's ancestors. James Bradley & Fanny Ward.
Still seems most likely that James Bradley was b1851 son of John Bradley b1831 Kingswinford & Mary. There are a couple of John Bradleys that could be James' father, no way to tell which or the full name of his mother without his birth certificate.
Fanny Ward was the daughter of Eli Ward, b1832 in Netherton or Darby End, and Ann Chandler, b1838 in Netherton.
Eli Ward was the son of William Ward, b1805, and Mary Ann Hadley, b1811 in Darby End.
Ann Chandler was the daughter of Edward Chandler, b1816 in Netherton, and Ann Hill, b1814 in Netherton.
