There is a Henry Burrows / Elizabeth Eccleston marriage in 1873 at Prescot Register Office (according to Lancashire BMD).

This looks to be that couple in 1881:

Henry Burrows Head Mar 32 Coal Miner Lancashire St Helens
Eliz Do Wife 31 Do Do
James Do Son 6 Scholar Do Do
Mary Alice Do Daur 1 Do Skelmersdale

Then in 1891 they have a 20-year-old son William:

Henry Burrows Head M 45 Coal Miner Lancashire St Helens
Elizabeth Do Wife M 42 Do Do
William Do Son S 20 Drawer in a Coal Mine Do Do
James Do Son S 16 Do Do Do
Mary Alice Do Daur S 11 Scholar Do Skelmersdale
George Do Son 8 Do Do Do
Ellen Do Daur 6 Do Do Do
Hy Do Son 4 Do Do

One of the witnesses at William Henry Eccleston and Ann Grimshaw's marriage was a James Burrows, according to Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website.

So it seems that Elizabeth Eccleston was William's mother.
