Have you checked the passenger lists for your David ? You must give more information - what year was your David born ? Who were his parents ?

Could these be his parents in 1901 in Walsall?  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XS7G-J8R

I think it would help to find a birth record for him or at least place him on a census in England before you try to figure out where he went.  If his parents were unmarried, perhaps his legal last name was Connolly.
