Matthews 1901 census

[aussiepool]

Can anyone help me...My Grandfather was Alfred Matthews living with William Matthews (aged 39) and Mary Matthews (aged 35) at the time of the 1901 UK Census. Alfred was aged 6.
They were living at no 11 Cecil St in West Derby. William and Mary 'took' my grandfather in to look after him. He was not their real son I believe. His surname was Sharrock.
Does anyone have any information on either William or Mary Matthews at this time, anything at all......
PS William's occupation was stated as a 'Finisher in Lauvage'?
