Hi Sandra
Quote from your message
I have found the marriage of Noah Stanway to Mary Murphy in the Cheshire BMD and also I have found them in the 1891 census living at 16 Wardle Street along with John Thomas, and a lodger.
I think the above quote are the details from the 1881 census not 91 ?
1881 Noah Stanway
Noah STENWAY Head M Male 52 Macclesfield, Cheshire, England Slater
Mary STENWAY Wife M Female 54 Clonmel, Ireland
Thomas STENWAY Son U Male 19 Macclesfield, Cheshire, England Blacksmith
Mary O BRIEN Lodger Female 13 Macclesfield, Cheshire, England Silk Piecer

Census Place Macclesfield, Cheshire, England

Page Number 26
There is only one Noah Stanway showing on the 1851 for Macclesfield he was born Gawsworth c1833 working as ag/lab in Bosley HO107-2161-F331
I do not have the 1861 census and there is no mention of him in the 1871 census.
1891 census you may already have this

1891 census again you may or may not have this
3 Shaw Street
Source information: RG12/2815
Registration district: Macclesfield
Sub registration district: West Macclesfield
ED, institution, or vessel: 11
Folio: 46
Page: 22
Stanway, Thomas 28 born Macclesfield, Cheshire Head silk weaver Macclesfield Cheshire
Stanway, Annie 29 born Kelton, Lancashire Wife silk hand Macclesfield Cheshire
The 1891 index give Annie as born Kelton Lancs but the image shows clearly Bolton.
I noted that on the 1901 census Annie is transcribed I suspect wrongly as being born Macclesfield
Although not on the Cheshire BMD they are shown on 1837 online and freeBMD as being married in Macclesfield 3 qtr 1889 ref 8a 207 JOHN THOMAS and ANNIE JANE HOLT
As for your grandfathers siblings, if born after 1901 I'm sorry but would only be looking at the Cheshire BMD website and guessing, although Silk St. was in West Macc it cuts it down a bit but not much
If I can help in any other way please ask
