I think it is probable- I have him as marrying either an Elizabeth Turner or Elizabeth Williams, from BMD records, but did not have the father's name. George Weeden, carrier, fits perfectly.( I didn't know the Linfoot middle name for Harry either- I wonder where that name comes from? Harry's mother's maiden name was Shepherd. It might be Elizabeth's mothers maiden name?).
Many thanks, Maggie.

Did you notice this?

1901
Weeden family are at #296
William Entwistle, his cousin Elizabeth Fildes and a servant Elizabeth Walker are at #298

1891
William Entwistle and Elizabeth Fildes are at #294
Elizabeth Walker is at #296 (on next page)

It just looks a bit odd to me, with Elizabeth Walker listed as Servant, yet only member of the household. Perhaps something went wrong with the enumerator's transcribing?

Thanks Gardener,Annie was registered in Pendleton in 1892, but I don't have her birth certificate, and cannot find the family anywhere in the 1891 census.
