Is he a bachelor or widower on his marriage to Hannah, Elizabeth?

I'll check, Kate.

He was a bachelor, as I thought:

Not having any luck so far. :(

Me neither.

Tried both Ancestry and FMP - nothing.

I tried them both too. Very strange. I might have to trawl through where he should have been living. I'll check out his family members and see if he is living with or near them.

Many thanks for looking, Kate and Shona.

Have you tried checking for the family in the 1855 Slater's Directory?

Isn't she Hannah Hartley, Elizabeth, not Hannah Huntley?
