Hi Pat, Isaiah was in the 1881 & 1891 England census. There was an Isaiah Griffiths that died in 1895, he didn't show up in the 1901 cenus. I only found the one passenger on the list but the years don't match with him. Let me know if you need the census info.

Isaac GRIFFITHS was a tube welder born 24 July 1849 at High Bullen, Wednesbury. He moved to the Pleck area of Walsall after his marriage in 1872 . One of the places he worked at was at the firm "Gill & Russell" on Pleck Road,Walsall. Isaac's younger brother Isaiah Burkitt GRIFFITHS emigrated to the US or Canada to start his own tube factory over there, similar to the one he started over here. He wanted Isaac to go with him but his wife Elizabeth refused to go. It would be interesting to find out if he did emigrate.
