Do you know who his parents or siblings were ?

[emmac]

no unfortunately i don't i think that is why i am finding it very difficult  to do

[fizzybubble]

Do you know for a fact that he married Charlotte Hill because there is a William unmarried born 1831 in the right place.

yes William married Charlotte Hill JunQ 1851 - that means Mar/Apr/June. The census for 1851 was taken 30th March, so unless you know that they wed between 1st March and 30th March they would still be single.

I cannot find a Charlotte Wallwork but I can find a Charlotte Hill with her family and a Wm Wallwork with his family. Are they of any use to you.

I found one William Wallwork in Tyldesley (Well Street):

James Wallwork 34 tailor
Alice Wallwork 38
Willm Wallwork 10
Ellen Wallwork 8  
Martha Wallwork 6
Catherine Wallwork 7 Mo
 
HO107/513/12 Folio 17 Page 3

Yes that was the one I was suggesting and then in 1851 he is not yet married. Also mother Alice may have died to be replaced by an Ellen

Well he was only 10 - would you expect him to be married?

Please read my modified message when I realised I was in the wrong year.
