Cheshire / Re: Cheshire Surname Research

I'm looking for information on my earliest TONGE ancestor Charles TONGE (TONGUE) and his wife Mary HAMNETT.

I would like to get a little further up the Tonge tree but I seem to be stuck at Charles and have been for many years so any help in the right direction would be appreciated.

Charles TONGE (b. abt. 1815 in Gorton, Manchester/Cheadle CHS, d. 18 April 1902) m. Mary HAMNETT (b. abt 1813 in Ashton upon Mersey, CHS, d. 6 Oct 1874) on 18 May 1836 at St. Marys, Manchester. They lived in Ashton upon Mersey, Cheshire and had seven children that I know of: James, Elizabeth, Wilbraham, Emma, Martha, Joseph, Mary

I am a descendant of Wilbraham TONGE (b. 15 Jan 1841 in Ashton upon Mersey, d. 6 May 1925) m. Mary SHERRY on 15 Jan 1872 in Allahabad, India

I've included the following census info that I've stumbled across over the years:
