Hi , i know this is a long time after you have posted this.
There was no mention of him or wharf street in the 1858 post office director for Manchester, but did find him at 42 Wharf street, Ancoats as a shop keeper( it does not say what kind of shop it was ) in the 1863 directory for manchester.
Sorry it took so long, but i am getting old and things seem to take longer to do these days
