Hi Iddon,

The 1901 census (do yuo have the details yet?) shows him born Preston, so this looks like a good bet for his birth:

Joseph Willocks
Jun 1871 Preston 8e 579
 "My dear, I think the English pronounce it 'appiness"

Get the marriage cert to discover their fathers' names?  :-\

Added:
Or better maybe, his birth cert.

This looks like a good match for Catherine in 1881

Does anyone have 1901 census details as to where they were living in Preston?
