In the 1841 census, I've found the following:-

John ATKINSON born c1806, living in Civil Parish of Lancaster. If bizarely has his gender down as female. He was living with no other persons at this time (source)

John ATKINSON born c1806, living in Stalmine, Garstang, Lancashire. He is down as living with Sarah ATKINSON aged 25 and Mary ATKINSON aged 4. (source)

There's a few others listed living in Liverpool and Manchester but have excluded this one.

Are there any other children do you know?

In this case then, I've found a possible match.

There is a recording in the 1841 census in Lonsdale, Tatham, Lancashire. It lists the following persons:

Agnes Atkinson aged 70  working as a farmer
Agnes Atkinson aged 4 Mo 
Isabella Atkinson aged 20 
James Atkinson aged 65 
James Atkinson aged 10 
John Atkinson aged 30 
George Dixon aged 20 
Sarah Win aged 15 
William Win aged 12 

Here's the source.
