Finding your links to England may be difficult with only their names and ages from the US census. I have taken a quick look through some data I have but could not come up with anything but I will try again as soon as I have some time.
One of the internet resources I have found the most useful in researching the MALE surname in England is the Bristol/Somerset Mailing List. This is accessed through e-mail. To subscribe send a message to Bristol_and_Somerset-D-request@rootsweb.com and include the word subscribe in the message. There is a large concentration of MALE's in Somerset. There are similar mailing lists for other parts of England as well. I have also used the LDS's IGI search with some sucess. The home page can be found at http://www.familysearch.org/. Ancestry is another place to try, http://www.ancestry.com/.
