Hello Again,
I think James Hunston or Hunstone has been sorted, but I am having difficulty with his wife Margaret Dalton. Their marriage certificate in 1868 shows her aged 18 and her father as William Dalton. I cannot find him in the 1861 census with a daughter Margaret who should be 11 years old.
As an aside - The certificate was given to me by my 3rd cousin whom i found two days ago via a DNA match .We had both had tests done and Ancestry came up with a high probability match. It turns out we are indeed related. It turns out her maternal grandmother and my paternal grandfather were sibling.

I can't see Margaret either sadly.   Her address was Chadwick St Manchester when she married and I find this William Dalton and family living there in 1861 with no sign of Margaret.    https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7FQ-7YM

I can't see this William or  his family pre or post this date.  Quite possibly completely unrelated  :-\

Thank you Kay for your efforts. I've been up a few false trails, hopefully I'll get there eventually.
