I'll send for the birth certificate and see if his mother is Elizabeth. At least I've now got something to go at! Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Janice.

He was born in Leeds around 1838 / 1839 according to info on later census and has recorded his father as Benjamin Crann on his marriage certificate 1858. So where is he before that date and why can't I find him? Oh the frustration!!
