you're welcome. I got it by taking out the first name and searching surname + widnes. Incidently, there are another Family of Sheridan's in Widnes at that time too. Mother is called Catherine, I'm not sure if they're related to your originals though.

Also listed at that address on the original image are: William Houghton, Head, 45, Chemical Labourer Ann, Wife, 48 Rose, Daug, 12 Catherine senior, her birthplace is listed as: America (north), in the infirm column it has a squiggle that looks like B8 or BS
