Hi I received two marriage certificate today so any help with these would be appreciated.
1) Nov 15th 1893 Marriage Certificate of William Whitehead 21 batchelor/labourer and Matilda Ingham 19 spinster. Registered at St Pauls Parish Church Manchester.
Both living at 34 Edgs Street or 34 Edgs Street in Manchester. Father of Matilda Thomas Ingham deceased (A dyer). Father of William not Robert a Bricklayer. In the presence of John Beswick and Selina Abbott.
Can anyone help me find William with his parents/father prior to 1893 i.e. 1891 etc or b.certificate for mother.
2) Matilda's birth certificate arrived this morning along with her father and mothers marriage certificate. I'll post this on another topic to avoid confusing the Whitehead discussion.

I have been trying to trace Williams parents this evening. I found a James Whitehead 1840 Stone Mason on the 1881 Cenus with an Eliza 1841.
John 19 1862 Coalminer Marsden, Yorkshire
George 15 1866 Cotton Piecer (C M)

William 9 1872 Scholar
Benjamin 5 1876 Scholar
Lucy 3 1878
Anthony Street, Ashton Under Lyne

However the IGI has this baptism (although I think the age is not a match/or James remarried?

OK, here is my only trail 
There isn't a William Whitehead born Failsworth ca. 1872 on earlier censuses so I looked at it from a different angle, searching for a William any surname born ca. 1872 Failsworth. Among the several candidates, a William Brown (1881 census) has a father James - a bricklayer.
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1881&indiv=try&h=10916842
RG11/4028 122 22
I was hoping for the 1871 census to show mum Matilda as a Whitehead but no luck - her surname was Dalton and she and the children were boarders(or lodgers? can't remember now) with James Brown. Matilda seems to have been a Dalton on the previous censuses too, at least from 1851 on (can't find her in 1841). She's still called Brown, married to James in 1891 but in 1901 her name is suddenly Whitehead (now a widow).
Now what intrigues me is that I looked for a birth registration for the little girl Lena Brown (10 mo in 1881). There isn't a matching Lena Brown registered, but there is a Lena Whitehead (Jun 1880 Prestwich).
I then tried to trace this Lena to 1901 and found a very likely candidate in 1901, wife of Henry Tinsley with a young son Orlando Tinsley. Searching for a marriage, it turns out she married as Selina Whitehead. As it happens, the Tinsleys were lodging with a John Beswick in 1901.
Coincidences?
