Hi Pauline,
Thanks for your help -
Oh dear, I knew I'd get it wrong, just a beginner on here, so bear with me.
I posted the same info on Lancashire look ups to cover Bolton as well. Reason being, the family of McDonalds were settled in Bolton by 1841 and sometime in the 1860's [we think] they migrated to Halifax. By 1870-2 the surname McDanielson [with variations] starts to appear, and by 1880 the name is firmly established. Hence Edwin Alfred might be originally a McDonald? Confused? I am!
1881 - 2 Hardcastle Buildings
William McDanielson, 32, Clay Miner, Bolton Lancs
Elizabeth Ann, wife, 29, Cotton Rover, Stockport
John W, Son, 7, Scholar, Halifax
Thomas, Son, 3, Halifax
1891 - 5 Steep Bank Side, Southowram Bank
John W McDanielson, 41, Banksman Coal Miner, Bolton
Elizabeth A, wife, 39, Stockport
John W, Son, 17, Labourer, Coal mine and....
Thomas 10, Jane 8, Annie 6, Arthur 4
1901 - 28 Oates Street, Halifax
John William McDanielson, 49, Concretors Labourer, Bolton
Susan, wife [2nd], 45, Brighouse
Annie, Dau, 16, Worsted Winder, Halifax
Arthur, Son, 14, Worsted Doffer, Hfx
Joseph Aspinall, Stepson,25, Stone Miner,
Annie Aspinall, Stepdau, 19, Worsted Winder
Charles Aspinall, Stepson, 15, Worsted Doffer

Hope that's a bit clearer,
Thanks again,
Gary
