Warrington Family - wrong name on census ?

[CarpeDiem]

Hi

I originally asked for a look up BUT I now have a conundrum .  Catherine Bate (Nee Harrison) died Crossley Street (no number) January 1861 - I cannot find her Husband Thomas or her 2 older sons Henry and Thomas anywhere on the census.  The youngest child Peter is with his grandparents on Pinners Brow.  However on Crossley Street is a Thomas Whittaker - widower, right age, occupation and place of birth - with 3 sons all right names and ages  Henry, Thomas and Peter BUT why on earth is the name Whittaker - any ideas ?
