The James Anders (son) named in the 1861 census is my great great grandfather. James moved to Wigan at some point after his marriage to Esther ? but his children were born in St Helens

Trying to find any information on Joseph Anders born 1841, St. Helens. He married Alice Fairhurst and I know they had at least one child, Margaret Anders born 1870, St. Helens.
