Liverpool to New York

Hello
A member of my family tree went to live in New York and the first record of his arrival is in 1882. Other members went later and I have been able to find them on the Ellis Island site. The second page of the manifests is useful in giving the name and address of the person they were headed for. I can't find any such thing for this man.
His name was William Owen Jones and went to NY in 1881 or 2 (from census returns). I am trying to find if there was anyone over there that he was going to join. Others followed him but why did he go?
Many thanks
Irene
