Hi , yes I was thinking on those lines , but I found a death for William Eccleston , in the area when William Henry was about 8 , so he could have passed away prior to the marriage . I will purchase the birth certificate . As I cannot find another William Eccleston in 1871 , I have looked on all the local parish regs and not found any . So I will have to presume that that birth in prescot his him .
