Have sent the article- it was from the British Newspaper Archive- also accessible through Find My Past.

Think the above marriage to Harriet is correct- this is a child of theirs born 3 court, BRICKKILN STREET- which was the address given for him in the article

Baptism:
Name: William Chamberlain
Baptism Date: 2 Feb 1862
Baptism Place: Birmingham, Bishop Ryder, Warwickshire, England
Father: James Chamberlain (Brickmaker)
Mother: Harriet Chamberlain
Reference Number: DRO 30
Archive Roll: M1
----------------------------------------------------

This could be Harriet and their children (although I'm struggling to spot on earlier census):

1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
