Find Ancestors

I have a James Beighton b1855 Sheffield married to Emma Wolstenholm b,1855 Sheffield. " children Mary Ann b.1881 Sheffield and Harry b,1883 Sheffield. James died in 1895 and Emma re-married 1897 in Sheffield to Maurice Simpson.
Emma and children are on the 1901 census still as married but no sign of Maurice.
I cannot find anything on the family after this 1901 census

How old was Maurice when he married ?
Who was his father ?

sorry I have not looked into that side as yet. It is Emma that is related to us.

??? His wife is listed as next of kin - address 93 Broomhall St Sheffield - He was a silversmith

Son Harry left UK but where was Maurice ?

I wondered if the one that left in 1901 was Maurice
I found a M Simpson who left for Portland in Origan 1901 but ruled it out as non of the other family could be found then
