A contender for Sarah Jane's birth:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Sarah Jane Eggerton
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1872
Registration District: Stourbridge
Inferred County: Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Page: 231

This fits with the September birth date. Also, although census shows 1873 it's the actual age that counts, if born September 1872 she would be 8 years old when census taken 3 April 1881.

Hi Carolyn, I've checked all available on-line divorce records and there is no mention of one for Jeremiah. I've also checked the newspaper archives, just in case. I doubt that it was annulled because they'd already had daughter Daisy by 1891.

Divorce was extremely rare and very difficult to obtain so I would expect that they didn't. It wasn't unusual at all really for people to separate and take new partners for that reason.

I've also been unable to find any record of a marriage between Jeremiah and Sarah Jane, unless it happened in the US and the record isn't on-line.

The only Jeremiah Binghams that were on the census records for that area at the time were the one posted on the census above (which as you say the siblings names are correct) and one born in 1878 - I've tracked that one and he doesn't appear to have left England. Plus, the occupation on the passenger lists matches Jeremiah's on the 1891 census.

Jeremiah's birth date of 7 April 1869 on the Californian passenger lists corresponds to the June quarter on this birth registration:

Births Jun 1869
Bingham Jeremiah Stourbridge 6c 153

You could always order a copy of the birth certificate to check out the actual birth date and parent's names.

Marie,
Jeremiah Bingham was my husbands grandfather. Most everything I know
is correct and entered on my tree.
Annie Bingham was the nickname of Sarah Jane Bingham. The marriage of Jeremiah to Susannah or Susan was a surprise. No one knew about another marriage.Would there be a divorce notice?
I am surmising that Jeremiahs parents are Joseph and Hanna. I do know that his brothers and sisters in all the cenus are correct.
I cannot find any info on Sarah's family Eggenton. I know she had a sister Edith and maybe another sister Polly and brother Jack or John. I am not sure about them.
Some of her relatives went to Australia--NSW and Canada-Ottawa or Ontario.
Jeremiah and Sarah were outdoor lovers and especially Jeremiah. He went all over the world hunting and fishing and also a brilliant business man.

If you could I would like the articles on his fishing trips and also the article about
the lawsuit for 1/2 million by Pryor. That is a true story.

Would like to know if I am on the right track with Bingham as parents of Jeremiah Bingham.

Thank you again and if I can help, let me know

Have found several US newspaper articles mentioning Jeremiah (mainly sport related as it seems he was a sponsor).

Will send to Carolyn if she's interested.

ADDED: In 1934 Jeremiah and wife Sarah were the subject of a $½m lawsuit by their former son in law David Prior who had been divorced by their daughter Esther.

29 Mar 1938 Jeremiah died in Miami Florida at his winter residence.

Need some feedback from Carolyn.

If Jeremiah left first wife Susan behind and then later married Sarah Jane Egginton then who is the Annie that he arrived in the US with? Where did he get $1000?

Where are any of them on the 1900 US?

Looks a possible for his first marriage:
