Sorry -distracted by phone call -  1841 for Mary Dewhurst which I think ties in to the parents you suggested but the father Thomas is listed as a publican rather than a weaver on the image  :-\ https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQL6-TW1

You have this baptism of Ellen Wilkinson though which says weaver

20 Apr 1828 St Leonard, Balderstone, Lancashire, England
Ellen Wilkinson - daughter of Robert Wilkinson & Betty
Living at Hob Green, Mellor
OccupationWeaver
   
So Balderstone seems to be a common place for the family baptisms?
Wemyss/Crombie/Laing/Blyth (West Wemyss)
Givens/Normand (Dysart)
Clark/Lister (Dysart)
Wilkinson/Simson (Kettle or Kettlehill)

I wonder if this is the right Mary Dewhurst in 1841  - living at Bosburn, Salmesbury

Thos Dewhwest    40 Cotton Weaver
Ellen Dewhwest    40
Mary Dewhwest    17
Nancy Dewhwest 15
John Dewhwest    11
Thomas Dewhwest 7
Henry Dewhwest 4

Added -  I think the same family in 1861  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7TD-5GG

All these people are most likely closely interelated that is why the names are so simmilar.

Each generation would have people with the same names.

Could take a while to sort out uncles from nephews.
