Manchester Cathedral records gives The full catalogue is now available and fully searchable on the “Access to Archives” website http://www.a2a.org.uk through the National Archives. The Parish registers have been digitised by http://www.ancestry.co.uk and can be searched at their site. Free access to Ancestry.co.uk is available from any Manchester City Council library.

Thank you all for trying there is some useful info all posts, especially yours  BallyaltikilliganG  :) I will keep digging and hopefully something will turn up I do have James and Lilias marriage certificate but the wittnesses names are not easy to read one is Isabelle ? and the other is William ? and of course it doesn't help having a common name like John and James but I am almost certain the census info is them but I will double check. Many thanks again.

The marriage certificate has John Carmichael as a Cabinet Maker.
Maybe that will help, presuming that it is correct, of course.  :)
