There are earlier baptisms with parents, William and Mary, including:
Elizabeth , baptised November 1812.

There is an entry in 1841 census 184/book 3/page 1
Transcribed as Hibberd
William 60 yrs
Elizabeth, 25 yrs
Esther, 15 yrs

Residence Sandyway Head (I think), Bowden Lodge, Chapel en le Frith

Elizabeth’s age doesn’t  fit though

There is a death for William Hibbert, 65 yrs, September 1842
Residence Sandy Way Head.

Added - a marriage for Elizabeth Hibbert, 1842 to  Edward Thornhill
Her residence Sandy Way Head and father, William.
Esther Hibbert - a witness.

I do hope all this is your family and helps.
Much of 1851 census for Manchester was damaged.

This could well be them, I just can't find them on the 1851 & 1841 census, I'll have another go tomorrow but, thank you so much for the help, much appreciated.

As I wrote, much of the 1851 census was damaged and what has been recovered is available on Ancestry.
In 1841, George will be single and likely to be working away from home.

There is a George Hibbert, 20yrs working in Chapel en le Frith at 1841 186/book 10/folio 14

With regard to Mary Elizabeth Brocklehurst, there is a baptism in August 1825 at Hayfield, with father John.
