1881 It's strange that John doesn't appear until he is 20 in the 1891. EDIT: He must be William John!! Mary is noted as a tin miners widow and Mary Bawden is noted as her mother.

Cannot find their travel details or, at the moment, locate either of them in the USA. They don't show in the 1901 so I assume they must have travelled sometime between 1891 and 1901. Will take another look later.

I do not know whether he is American or English - the original says he is

There are two basic categories of United States citizens. A natural citizen is someone born in the United States or born to American parents on foreign soil. A naturalized citizen is someone who was born in a foreign country, but took a series of steps with the end goal of being granted citizenship.

According to the census listed on this thread, John or William John King, brother to James, was born abt 1871 and not 1862/3.

Could John Henry King have been the son of James Henry King instead?
