I would suspect that his first wife Susan "remarried" as per this 1901:
SMITH, Ephraim Head Married M 29 1872 Carter At Brick Works Norton Stourbridge, Worcestershire SMITH, Susan Wife Married F 33 1868 Stourbridge, Worcestershire BINGHAM, Daisy Step Daughter F 12 1889 Stourbridge, Worcestershire SMITH, Renda Daughter F 1 1900 Stourbridge, Worcestershire SMITH, Mary Ann Daughter F 0 (8 MOS) 1901 Stourbridge, Worcestershire

Carolyn, is that your tree on ancestry that has all of this info?

Although he appeared alone on the passenger list he was apparently travelling with wife Annie (25) according to this:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Immigration Records, Special Boards of Inquiry, 1893-1909 Name: Jeremiah Bingham Birth Year: abt 1869 Arrival Date: 6 Jun 1895 Arrival Age: 26 Ship Name: Indiana Nativity/Origin: English Series Title: Records of the Special Boards of Inquiry in District No. 4 (Philadelphia), compiled 08/28/1893-11/16/1909 Record Group Title: Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, 1787-2004 Record Group Number: Record Group 85 ARC Identifier: 4483061 Archive Roll: 1 Volume: Volume 2 Apr 2, 1895 - Sep 27, 1895
They were detained for 2 days pending investigation. It confirms he did indeed have $1,000. They were held because they had no friends, relatives or address to go to. They were released when it was confirmed he had a railroad order to New York and an offer of work as an elevator man in an hotel and Annie an offer of kitchen work.

Hi Carolyn welcome to the boards, are you wanting info about them before they left England or after they went to the US?
For reference, this looks like them in 1920:
1920 United States Federal Census about Jerimiah Bingham Name: Jerimiah Bingham [Jerimiah Bringham] Age: 50 Birth Year: abt 1870 Birthplace: England Home in 1920: Toledo Ward 7, Lucas, Ohio Race: White Gender: Male Immigration Year: 1897 Relation to Head of House: Head Marital Status: Married Spouse's Name: Sarah Bingham Father's Birthplace: England Mother's Birthplace: England
Household Members: Name Age Jerimiah Bingham 50 Sarah Bingham 46 - wife, b England Esther Bingham 15 - dau, b NY Edith Bingham 13 - dau, b Ohio Edith Egginton 29 - sis-in-law, b England. Arrived US 1908
Can't make out Jeremiah's occupation.
Seems to be some confusion about when the family arrived. Jeremiah states naturalised 1894 but don't think he could have been naturalised before he arrived!

Both born in Birmingham,England. I believe they were born in Lye. Jeremiah had sisters and brothers. They were John, Robert,Joseph,Lily,Emily. Sarah I believe had a sister Edith. All moved to Toledo Ohio USA. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
