Edward Harrison, son of William Wood

[warwickb]

Hi. Looking for help please in regard to Edward Harrison b circa 1830.
Edward married Ellen Harrison b 2Dec 1832 (eldest child of William Harrison and Anne Williams) in West Derby in 1854. On the marriage certificate Edward's father is noted as William Woods, Painter.  That suggests his mothers maiden or married surname is Harrison.

Yet to locate Edward in 1841C and 1851C. There are a few options. Most likely I thought from both census's he was related to Thomas b1796 Joiner & Mary b 1796 Harrison living Kensington Street 1851. The name of Edward's first child strengthened that case however I disproved this as the two children of this couple are both christened in St Peters is 1831 and 1833 to Thomas and Mary.

1861 England Census records Edward at 20 Mop? St Everton (St George Ecclesiastical District) with wife Ellen, and children Thomas, Hannah, E(dith?) Jane and Richard. Occupation "labourer docks".

Have had little success in also identifying William Wood. There are only two William Woods who are painters in Lancaster in 1841C if he was still alive. Both are aged 30 and live in Walton on the Hill, Everton, Liverpool, one with mother and siblings, other with father and brother.

I'm keen to find please Edward's baptism and hopefully through that identify his mother. Identifying more details of his father would be great to.
Any assistance please much appreciated.
Cheers Warwick

1861 lists his birth place as Liverpool, presumably that is what you have for him in other census

Street is Moss Street, it has both the long and short s on the image making it look like Mop

Thank you Rosie. Good to get that correction on Moss Street.

Cheers

1851 has an Edward Woods born 1830 as a step son age 21 errand boy born Wrighlington? Lancs

Might be worth checking that one out just in case.

Head of house appears to be

George Caunce 64
wife Jane 62

Marriage for Jane Woods to George Caunce in 1838

Marriage confirms she was a spinster living Wrightington?

So don't know if that fits or not 

If he made up a father you would think he would match the surname to his own.
