Brother of actor Leslie Howard. The family name was Steiner, but was Anglicized to Stainer.
Per his niece Leslie Ruth Howard:
"Jimmy, seven years younger, was already the character of the family. There could never have been two brothers more different than Jimmy and Leslie. Jimmy was gregarious where Leslie was shy, independent where Leslie leaned on his mother. Jimmy was the wit and the despair of his family, the author of endless practical jokes, his gaiety undampened even by his father's disapproval. He kept the household between horror and laughter and brightened their days considerably."
