Ok I am really confused now.  Not only do the christian names change, but the surname as well.  No wonder I couldnt find them, if this is the same family.

The only 2 pieces that I have to go on is the marriage entry 26.3.1866 of Jane Boswell to John Poole.  Her father is listed as Felix Boswell, tinner and brazier.

The second piece is the 1871 census for Dock Lane, Leftwich, Northwich.
 Jane Poole (age 23, married travelling musician) and her mother Mary Boswell, is 62 yrs old, a widow born in Beverley, Yorkshire.

Thanks to everyone who is trying to help me sort this out.  I didnt think I would get such a response.  This is amazing.

I am a little confused Richard.  Do you mean that Pheonix  should be written as Felix?, if so then this is the wrong wife too. 
Janes father was definitely Felix (in the marriage register) and her mother was Mary (according to the 1871 census).

I am looking for any information about Felix and Mary Boswell.  The only thing I know about them is that Felix was born prob around 1805, he was a tinner and brazier.  his wife Mary, was born in 1809 in Beverley, Yorkshire, and on the 1871 census she was a widow and living with her daughter Jane Poole in Leftwich, Northwich Cheshire.  Jane was a travelling musician, born 1848 in Shepfield, yorkshire.  She got married to John Poole in 1866 at Barnton Church.

I have searched for this family on various census and came up with absolutely nothing.  Neither can I find Felix's death.
Any help would be appreciated
