Looks like his first wife was Julia:

................................................................................................................

There's a previous application in 1891 for him and his then wife Julia. No maiden name given but she was born 24 October 1865 at Columbia City, Indiana.

In 1891 he described his occupation as Capitalist.

Morning MarieCeleste...
That was a shot in the dark on my part..!! Thanks for the info.
Now the next question is..What was he doing in the UK...???
Love his occupation (1891)...!!

Looks like Julia's maiden name was Sandmeyer

spouse's name: Julia Sandmeyer
event date: 22 Mar 1883
event place: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
father's name: Bernhard Lichtstein
mother's name: Bertha Lichtstein

I think this must have been the reason for the 1904 passport application - the ages are way out but it's just too much of a coincidence with the names.:

UK Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960

Name: A J Lichtstern
Birth Date: abt 1846
Age: 58
Port of Departure: New York, New York, United States
Arrival Date: 10 Oct 1904
Port of Arrival: Plymouth, England
Ship Name: Kaiser Wilhelm II
Shipping Line: Norddeutscher Lloyd

He was travelling with Mrs (52), Lucille (23) and Bertha (28)

No occupations or addresses given.

I know the passport application said he had dark skin but I think the transcription of negro on the 1920 is a mistake:

1920 United States Federal Census

(The rest of the household are servants)

Looks like Marian is using her maiden surname.

The ages are hard to make out as the image is faint and has been written over.
