This could be Benjamin in 1901. Benjamin's father is a loco engine driver.

Hi Beryl. Just some other info in addition to that given above.
1891 census
Benjamin. 27.
Mary E 26. Born Widnes

1881 census. Widnes
James. 50. Railway Lab. Born ??? Lancs.
Ann. 47 Born Cheshire. ??Wimslow
Sarah E 20. Dressmaker and Milliner. Born Lancs.
Benjamin. 18. Railway Eng.Firemna. Born Lancs.

1871 Census Culcheth.
James. 41. Born ???? Brewers Drayman
Ann 36. Born Gt Budworth.Cheshire
John M 14. Born Lancs. Labourer
Sarah E 10. Born Lancs
Benjamin. 7. Born Lancs.
Betsey J 1??? Born Ince in Makerfield.

1861
James. 131. Police Constable. Born Culcheth
Ann 26. Born Budworth
John M 4. Born Cotton. Lancs
Sarah E 2months. Born Culcheth.

James seems to have had a few jobs.

Marriage of Benjamin to Lilian Shallcross. 1918 Jan/March Qtr. reg in West Derby.Liverpool.Vol 8b 903.

Marriage of James to Ann Miller. 1861 July/Sept. Qtr. reg in Prescot. vol 8b 831.

This needs checking.

Births of the children of Benjamin and Mary.

William. several possibilities.
Morton. 1893. April/June Qtr. reg in Prescot. vol 8b 691
Allen. 1895 Jan/March Qtr. reg in Prescot. vol 8b 699
Noel. 1897. Jan/March Qtr. reg in Prescot.vol 8b 696
Eric. 1898 April/June Qtr. reg in Prescot. vol 8b 677
Benjamin. 1899 July/Sept. Qtr. reg in Prescot. vol 8b 715.

If you find the registry of one of James's children then get a copy of the birth certificate which wilol give the Mothers maiden name, and confirm that it was Miller then a copy of the marriage I gave you earlier will give the names of their Father's and their occupations, and witnesses who may be siblings.

Hope this helps. Ethel.
