Janice, do you have this marriage certificate?
Marriages
Jun 1876
Brown James Birmingham 6d 298
EVEMY Emily Birmingham 6d 298
If not, it might be wise to purchase it to ensure you are on the right track - it should tell you the father's names and occupations.
A number of Ancestry Public Trees list James' parents and William and Elizabeth (none of them provide the full material details though to suggest whether they have seen the entry). As Ruskie says, do you have a copy of James and Emily's marriage certificate to confirm his father was George as you don't specifically provide the marriage details which would appear to be possibly Register Office or non-conformist chapel (as per suggestion on Marriage Locator) as it doesn't appear within the parish registers on Ancestry (not that they are necessarily complete)? It would of course also confirm what he lists his father's profession to be.
