 Thank you Spendlove  for both posts. I wasn't aware that rounding down could mean by as much as 4 years, so thanks for that and also flagging up the incorrect age for his mother. There are so many discrepancies in the census for this family, hence the  need to check more than one source.

Thanks Graham . I'll go with Stockport as pob .

There is a nonconformist baptism in Glossop 15 March 1821 for a Joseph, son of John, a Farmer, and Mary Brocklehurst. Abode Chinley.

There is also a death in 1878 in Ashton under Lyne so he should be in the 1861 and 1871 Censuses to confirm pob.

There were many families who originated from the Ancient Parish of Glossop who moved to Stockport, Ashton and so on for work but went back to the parish for baptisms (and sometimes burials). For that reason the Chinley baptism shouldn't be dismissed without checking.
The main Brocklehurst line in the Glossop parish was in the Charlesworth area.

 Thanks John  & Graham H  for your input . I'll look again at that Baptism in Chinley although his fathers' name is George on his marriage certificate and this is supported in the Census. However,  as Ive found to cost you can follow the wrong family if you accept the info from only one source as being  correct.

[softly softly]

The occupation of father on baptism records is a pretty good indication that this is your family
