Looking for parents of GG Grandfather Corker

[PSM]

Hi, I'm living in Australia, (g'day!), looking for my GGG Grandfather and his wife's details.

His son was John William Corker, Born June 13, 1848 in Hulme/Chorlton, Lancashire.

That's all I know at the moment. Hoping some kind soul can shed some more light on this area.

Hi there,

In the 1861 census there is the following record:

Thomas Corker 44  Head Salesman born in Sheffield
Nancy Corker 42  Wife born in Lancashire
Thomas Corker 15  Son Clerk born in Lancashire
John William Corker 12  Son Solicitors Office Boy born in Lancashire
Harriet Corker 8  Daughter Scholar born in Lancashire
Joseph Corker 6  son Scholar born in Lancashire
Henry Corker 3  son scholar born in Lancashire
Harriet Corker 14  niece servant born in Lancashire

They were living in chorlton upon medlock.

Does that sound right to you?

Wow! You're amazing, thanks!

It sounds exactly right because John Corker was a merchant's clerk.
