I'm looking for any clues regarding a James Haycock bapt. 1844 Harborne to Frederick and Maria. He and his brothers were sometimes known by the surname Mander(s) or Haycock Mander as his mother was Maria Mander. He appears in the 1851/1861 census at home with family in Aston, Birmingham. I've discovered him in the ADM-158-49-43 admiralty description books signing up for the Navy with his brother John Haycock in March 1863 at age 18 but he was invalided out after two years. In 1866 he marries Mary Ann Tolley in Wolverhampton:

Residence Place Middle Vauxhall
Marriage Date 25 Dec 1866

They have two daughters Ann L Haycock b. 1867 and Emma Jane b. 1868. His wife and the surviving child are then in the 1871 census in Wolverhampton with her parents but there is no sign of him.
Wolverhampton
Sub-registration district Wolverhampton Western
ED, institution, or vessel 31
Household schedule number 191

I cannot locate any death or burial records for him in the areas of Wolverhampton or Birmingham.
Thanks,
