Got to be from the same family as the witnesses both tie in!!

No maiden name but perhaps it's the right marriage date, which could be checked out on the original parish registers.
With a bit of luck it may list his occupation

His first known child James was born c1820

So did all the children marry in the Parish of Deane??

John was born c1786 so could hardly have married same year !

Surname is Greenhalgh

The father of James, Ellen and Mary was only born in 1786

Thanks Mike
