William Ashcroft and Mary, not sure of her maiden name. It was more Henry Edwards's parents that I was looking for.

If you can find Henry and wife Alice on 1901 census, it will say where Henry was born.
At present I can only find this one with father Arthur in 1881, but not Lancashire.

I have a copy of Henry Edwards marriage cert. Sept 27th, I think it's 1896. Although the name is not clear it looks like Arthur. It states that he was deceased. Henry married in Bootle Liverpool.
