Trying to find information on the husband of a Mary Walker who was a widow,and had a small holding in Hipperholme Halifax, she was born in 1824 and had four sons one called Ellis who was my great grandfather

Have you bought Ellis' birth cert? That will give Mary's maiden name and his fathers full name and occupation. Look it up on freebmd for the GRO ref and then buy it for £7 on GRO online.

Despite the listing below from the 1881 Census the image looks like Mercy Walker. So I think the 1861 details are the family in 1861
