The 1841 census address looks like White Lee Gaol Houses. Looks as though the jail had closed a few decades previously so I guess had been converted to residential housing.

Looking on the new online GRO birth index, which gives mother's maiden name even for the pre-1911 births, there is a Nathan registered Jul-Sep 1842 and a Sam Oct-Dec 1853 in addition to the children who you listed. Nathan's death was registered Apr-Jun 1849, age 6, and Sam's Oct-Dec 1854 age 10 (presumably months).

There is a James Parkin baptised 15 Sep 1816 at Birstall, parents Henry and Rachel. You could view the image on Findmypast to see whether the abode was Liversedge. But I would be more confident if your James had children named Henry and Rachel!

I found this survey of Liversedge 1803
on here is a Josa Charles Parkin

If you have a chance to look at the marriage certificate i think that could be the name of the second witness. What do you think?
** on second thoughts i'm talking rubbish..... ignore me ;-)**

So cross with myself! I have been red herringed & completely gone down the wrong path!!
This is not my James Parkin family. I was following the ancestor Edwin Parkin b 1841 but mixed him up! He was actually born to John Parkin & Elizabeth Hall Woodhouse Leeds.
Though it would seem that Edwin is not acutally John's child! On the 1841 6th June census John & Elizabeth (whom married on the 25/12/1840) are living with John's parents in Woodhouse leeds, along with 2 children Edwin aged 1 year & Charles aged 4m! when Charles gets married in 1863 Edwin is a witness & the fathers name is Felins Nullins! presume that means no father???

I am so confused!

I think it will be "filius nullius", i.e. illegitimate child, yes.
