Help clarifying an ancestor? I'm stuck and don't know how to move forward.

Isobel,
Possibly the family with parents John and Ann mentioned in replies #6 and 7.
They have a William and an Adam

Possible. Age is just a little off all the other census entries, which suggest he was born 1844/45.

I wondered more about Adam rather than William. I can’t see him later but it is all speculation. I have no evidence.

Found Adam Harrison in 1861 2356/53/3 so probably puts him out of the picture. He is a Waggoner, living in Nocton, Lincs.
He is mistranscribed on one site as Hansson.

I don’t want to complicate matters anymore but thought I would just post this to bear in mind when you start searching for Robert’s father.
You know from Robert’s marriage that his father was William.

I had a quick look for other Harrisons in West Derby district

1871 3802/80/25
Thomas Harrison 32yrs Carter b Wellingore

1871 3832/56/14
William Harrison 26 yrs Carter b Boothby.  *previously mentioned as yours

But there is also this man
1871 3802/79/24
He is transcribed as William Harbeson 28yrs b Wellington, Lancashire
But it should read Harrison and Wellingore -although it still shows as Lancashire. His wife though shows Lincolnshire and there is a marriage.
Here is the F S link

He is a Drayman so it is interesting that Adam Harrison mentioned earlier is a Waggoner and there are a couple of Williams who are a Carter and a Drayman - similar occupations.
