James Mucklow was born 1830 Bham, the youngest son of William Mucklow and Sophia Cubbage. William and Sophia married 24 Dec 1809, Aston.
He had at least 3 brothers and 2 daughters.
William Mucklow died before 1837 (possibly 1834), when Sophia re-married to a Richard Morton but she died in 1839.
And as William Mucklow died before the 1841 census that might be as far back as you can go with your Mucklows.

In regards your De Vere ancestors, was the De Vere name also assumed by Esther's father Thomas Wallace De Vere?
He doesn't seem to appear until the 1891 census when he is listed as the husband of a Clara Sweet, though they don't appear to marry. The 2 children are Clara's but they do have children before Clara dies and he marries Esther Baker.
Haven't be able to track Thomas down before 1891, my best guess is that he is a Thomas Wallace Yardley from Coventry but there are a number of them and it might just be a red herring. The son of John & Catherine is the most likely.

I never said that Thomas was a Mucklow. As there seems to be an almost complete lack of the De Vere/Devere name in the region prior to 1891 (as you probably know) I was speculating on the possibility of it being an assumed name for some reason.
I mentioned the name Thomas Wallace Yardley (3 of them) mainly because of the forenames (which sometimes people keep them even when assuming a new surname) and, though they were born in Coventry, at least one moved to Bham with his family, one stayed in Coventry and the other disappears.
As I say it was just speculation, no proof.
