Find Ancestors

I am trying to trce my husband's grandfather Jonathan Gething who was married to Emma Leake in 1904 and lived in Mexborough, South Yorkshire they had 4 children. On my husband's mothers marriage certicate dated 1932 it states father Jonahan Gething desceased, iut I cannot trace any death at all. Family history says he was American but I cannot find any birth for him , I think he was born in 1877. I can trace one born in Wath on Dearne Yorkshire and one in Oldbury in that year.
I also think that in 1901 he married Alice ? and they went to America that year, He came back alone two years later.

Can anyone help ?

Thank you David, Two of the Children were John (Jack) and Frances, my mother in law was born in 1912, do you have the street where they lived?

Both Jonathans work in a colliery, but I can't make out the 1901 occupation - works above ground though so not a miner.

Vivan, feeling a bit invisible here! Address is on the 1911 I put above.

The address is on Jans post

This one is transcribed Gethong and that's what original looks like but someone has made a correction to Gething:

The Ellis Island site has a Jonathon & Alice Gething arriving New York 25 May 1901 from Liverpool aboard the Lucania. Jonathon was 24, Alice 22. Don't understand, I think it says that they're American citizens and that they're returning, passage was paid by his mother. Last residence was Mexboro and they're headin for Nanticoke.
