Clutching at straws - Is this young Alfred that appears in 1851 with them 
BANCROFT, ALFRED NEALE -
GRO Reference: 1850 Dec Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 20 Page 672
Baptism transcript at Cheetham 03 Jun 1851 gives parents as James Bancroft and Ann Tayno 
Date of birth 22 Oct 1850
I assumed Alfred was a son of James Brooks and Ann or from a previous marriage of James. Joseph Bancroft's 1848 death certificate isnt available as a digital image from GRO tet so cant buy it.
