Thanks Kate!
Pity you didn't mention the lack of a father's name at the marriage in your opening post Bearkins!! lol
Anyway, if it were my tree I would make a list of all the illegitimate Williams baptised at Blackrod in the right time frame and then see if I could work out whether any of the mother's married before 1841 and then try and find them on the census to see if they have a son, William living with them, either surname Grimshaw or taking the step-father's surname. Possibly a long shot, but worth a try.
