Thanks for the replies. I have searched again and found a marriage for John Rowlinson, widower, age 51, an Umbrella Maker, to Ellen Hall, 46, widow on 29 July 1860. So John was born c1809. His father is given as Richard Rowlinson, Roper.
This was on Ancestry in Mancheser Marriages and Banns 1754 - 1930. I thought I had exhausted Ancestry!
Still need to find his first marriage and birth and death record.
