Hi, I need help finding this family prior to 1891. William startin [tube drawer] b 1839 new york widow. William [polisher] b 1876 birmingham, James b 1879 birmingham. Emely C b 1882. address 3 back 6 Hooper street.
On James's birth cert his mother is named Emma phillips. I have found a marriage for a william & emma in 1869. but nothing in the censuses prior to 1891. I would be so grateful for any help in finding them.

I don't know how you do it, but thank you so much. It does appear to be him. Makes you wonder how and why he came to England at such a young age, seemingly without parents! Just 1871, 1881 to track now. Thanks again for your hep
 
On James's birth cert July 1878 the family were living at St Georges Place Gower Street. Is there a way to check if they were still there in 1881?
