Marriage: 29 Aug 1846 St Mary the Virgin, Prescot, Lancashire, England William Eccleston - (X), Full, Collier, Bachelor, Windle Mary Lester - (X), Full, Spinster, Windle Groom's Father: Thomas Eccleston, Collier Bride's Father: George Lester, Collier Witness: William Nailor, (X); Elizabeth Beetle, (X) Married by Banns by: L. Parker Snow Register: Marriages 1845 - 1854, Page 21, Entry 42 Source: LDS Film 1657597 I did check that William and Mary were a couple in 1861 and 1851 before considering this marriage. In 1851 Mary's details were b 1825, at Sutton which matches with this baptism (and the father's details match with the marriage record to William Eccleston): Baptism: 21 Aug 1825 St Mary (now St Helen), St Helens, Lancashire, England Mary Leicester - Daughter of George Leicester & Elizabeth Abode: Sutton Occupation: Collier Baptised by: T. Pigot Register: Baptisms 1824 - 1833 from the Bishop's Transcripts, Page [32], Entry 251 Source: LDS Film 1469036 It would still be sensible to purchase the birth cert for one of the children to confirm the mmn. Elizabeth is 14 months old in 1851 so this birth reg may be her: Births Mar 1850 Eccleston Elizabeth Ann Prescott 20 784 Looks hopeful as that birth reg fits with this bap: Baptism: 27 Jan 1850 St Mary, St Helens, Lancashire, England Elizabeth Ann Eccleston - Daughter of William Eccleston & Mary Abode: St. Helens Occupation: Collier Notes: [The surname appears to have been overwritten and could be Eccleston or Edleston. Evidence from the civil register suggests the name should be Eccleston.] Baptised by: Edward Carr Register: Baptisms 1846 - 1850 from the Bishop's Transcripts, Entry 2241 Source: LDS Film 1469036

Bearkins, William Henry Eccleston was illegitimate because Elizabeth was unmarried when he was born, and that is why he had his mother's surname (Eccleston) but he was baptised as the son of Henry and Elizabeth Burrows when he was 3 months old, although Henry and Elizabeth were not married to each other yet. So it looks likely that Henry was his father, not just his stepfather, but not definite.

Henry is aged 3 in 1851.
This looks like the marriage of his mother to James Dixon: Marriage: 15 Sep 1850 St Thomas, Eccleston, Lancashire, England James Dixon - (X), 23, Miner, Bachelor, Eccleston Alice Burrows - (X), 26, Spinster, Eccleston Groom's Father: John Wills, Watchmaker Bride's Father: William Burrows, Miner Witness: John Burrows; Ellen Makin, (X) Married by Banns by: G. Thornton Mostyn Incumbent Register: Marriages 1841 - 1858, Page 76, Entry 152 Source: LDS Film 1849656 So it looks like Henry was illegitimate. This is the best fit birth registration, though there are others if his age was a little inaccurate: BURROWS, HENRY mmn - GRO Reference: 1847 J Quarter in PRESCOT Volume 20 Page 880

Yes , I agree , I have found a few births , of a Henry around 1848 1849 . Going by the age on the census . One was in Warrington and the other Prescot . I have looked on Lancashire bmd , but some of the entry's have no mmn to confirm .so it's difficult .
