Hi Winifred, glad that you're okay etc. 
I'm from Ellen's brother William's line, and reading your posts above, I am leaning toward William's parents being from the Lytham area. It doesn't make sense for people to travel 30 miles in winter to live in a Parish just to get married.
My interest in the Halliwell's would be just to see how they fared after the originals had passed away, and to possibly add them to my Bonney Family Tree.

And this will help too, no doubt. 

not a lot to add to what people have said or the way they do things, as you have to do it the way
YOU understand and know where everything thing is,

HAVING SAID THAT, you have to remember one day we will no longer be here,
and someone else has to understand it easily, bits of paper/notes are all well and good but others may see it as rubbish and it could end up in the bin and your years of research a complete waste,
in files/folders books and make it personal and your kin would be loathe to throw such history away,
imagine if you had such things from your departed relatives and how much they would mean, just my own personal thoughts, but if you can make it so it CAN'T be thrown away.

Possibly one of the best pieces of advice ever.
