Hi, this is almost certainly him as he was living with Hannah in Pudsey on the 1851 census.
Thank you for your help.

If you use Ancestry, they have a document showing that Hannah Crann, wife of Joseph Crann was living in Hunslet in 1847:

She was called upon to swear an oath relating to her brother Joseph Taylor's rights of settlement.  Presumably she was considered to be of sound mind on 6 August 1847.

I did find this, thank you - what difficult times they lived in!

I will try and get hold of the asylum records.
Thank you all for your positive help.
