Trying to find Williams

With fingers crossed I'm asking if anyone here has information on the Williams family from either Willenhall or Wolverhampton. My great-grandfather was James E. Williams and I believe he was a son of the family who lived at Talbot Place 42 Darlington Street. I believe I have a photo of his mother or perhaps an aunt who was Mrs. T. Williams and she lived at the Darlington St. address. James was a mining engineer who married Lizzie Peace Black from Walsall on March of l871. They soon traveled to Wyoming Territory, USA <as it was known before it became a state> where he managed/supervised several mines until l875 when they once again traveled to the west coast and settled in Renton, Washington, USA. Renton is a suburb of Seattle. James and Lizzie have a main city street named after them, they began a church and a masonic lodge. If anyone has information, or knows of this branch of their family I would be sooooo grateful. And I will gladly provide Lizzie and James' story which is pretty remarkable. Thank you !!
