As far as I can recall, there are a number of Newtons in the area. The one I know of is Newton Heath. My mother was in service there in the 1920s

Newton le Willows is another one. However there is not a Newton in Liverpool.

Newton le Willows is the closest of the Newtons to Rainford

Thanks both, I did find the same as you did. Perhaps a search for more children might shed some light. 
Not even looking at that for a few days yet. 
Merry Christmas

The Newtons ‘in Makerfield’ and le Willows are the same.

There is a St Peter's church in Newton-le-Willows, Liverpool Diocese, this could be where William was baptised?

The Newtons ‘in Makerfield’ and le Willows are the same.

That figures - I'd only heard of Newton le Willows and not Makerfield until I looked on Genuki

Happy Christmas

Lancs parish clerks has a few from 1763, same father, same church.

Probably married or dead by 1851,
