Both of his parents died, his mother I presume in childbirth

here

Is he on the 1911 Census please?

This one looks right:

He's living with Mary Ann Lowell (he's down as her nephew) and her daughter who's a shop proprietor at 46 George Street, West Bromwich.

Eliza I Powell 30 Dau S (looks like Eliza J)
Amos I Silvester 14 Nephew S Stamper at Spring Balance Works ( Looks Like Amos J )

Occupation same as John's fathers but this must be a different one, probably related?

Double checking the image on the 1911 census, it could be Powell but I can see why it's transcribed as Lowell !
