There is a gravestone in the Warstone Lane Cemetery, Birmingham: http://www.jqrt.org/jqc/ss/ss_searches.html. See also PDF file.

Why was Henry(Harry) in Birmingham?

If this date is correct then it makes sense that Emma Mary Prussia re-marries in 1891, especially as she is described as "widowed" on her second marriage register entry.

Henry James Shields was the son of William Shields and Alice Mary (this was her surname). William was a soldier in the army. He was the third child, second son, of eight children.
