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
