SS,
As far as I know Ellen DUXBURY was born in Hawes, North Riding Yorkshire, and she was named by Edward BLAKEY as his mother in his 1859 criminal records.
I have not found an 1861 Census Entry......believing possibly he had migrated to Canada.

The 1861 census I found earlier now makes sense. Having been in trouble with the law he changes his surname. His criminal record records his mothers address as Bent Street, Blackburn as per below in 1861 census.
1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Bent Street, Blackburn, Lancashire, EnglandPlease put me out of my misery, how have you established his date of birth.SS
