Thanks Andy, I really appreciate your help on this.
I don't have very much on him before the 1841 census. These are the facts I know for sure about WB:
17 Jan 1821 - married at St Wilfreds, Calverley to Lydia Holmes (she was baptised at St Wilfreds, Calverley) - no parents listed.
9 Aug 1822 - he was a wool comber and his daughter Harriet was baptised (Bradford, St Peter)
4 Jul 1824 - he was a wool comber and his son Jeremiah was baptised (Bradford, St Peter)
Oct 1825 - he was a wool comber and his daughter Hannah was baptised (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
13 Nov 1825 - he was a wool comber and his daughter Hannah was baptised (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
12 Mar 1826 - lived Wapping Bradford (near St Peter's) and his son Jeremiah was buried (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
27 Jan 1828 - he was a wool comber and his daughter Sarah Ann was baptised (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
May 1830 - he was a wool comber and his son Alfred was baptised (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
May 1832 - he was a wool comber and his daughter Martha was baptised (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
Sept 1834 - he was a wool comber and his daughter Mary was baptised (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
6 Jun 1837 - he was a wool comber and his son John was baptised (Primitive Methodist Chapel, Bradford)
1841 census - he's 55 and a wool comber from Yorkshire.
1851 census - he's 65 and a Pensioner (Chelsea) from Bradford, Yorkshire.
1861 census - he's 75 and a Chelsea Pensioner from Bradford, Yorkshire.
19 Jul 1866 - Death certificate: Male, 80 years, Woolcomber, Senlie Gangrene 3 weeks, exhaustion. Hannah, his daughter, was present when he died.
That's all I'm certain of.
So on that basis, I'm sure he got a Chelsea Pension and I'm sure he was born in or close to Bradford (potentially Bradford, Calverley, Idle or Tong). I'm not sure which of the 3-4 birth records I can find are his.
