Joseph Wilcock YOB 1901 Married Lily Alston YOB c1902

Joseph Wilcock c1901 was the son of Joseph Wilcock YOB? but his occupation was Boiler plate rivetter and deceased at time of sons marriage for sure (died before WWI I'm told due to accident at work) Did the mother (unknown at this point remarry after this tragic death)?

JWc1901 may possibly have had half/step/full siblings called Nelly and Lizzie?

If anyone can assist me in tracing this family back further I would be so grateful.

Thank you ever so much

Thank you so much Sue from OZ that does indeed confirm what I hoped to be true!

It seems some half/step siblings of JW1901 were mentioned but still not able to find how they come into play? how does one research half/step family with no real details other than some aloof names?

How do I confirm parents of JW1880 & EW1880? trace roots back further I mean?

According to the 1901 census both Joseph and Elizabeth were born 1880, Manchester.

It's very difficult to pick them out on previous censuses without knowing the fathers' names. I'm thinking you might have to buy the marriage certificate to find them.

UPDATE
Bought the marriage cert for Joseph & Lily
Married 29th May 1926 at St Anselm in Whitworth Nr Rochdale

Joseph Wilcock (age at marriage was 25yrs)
14 whittles st shawforth
FATHER Joseph Wilcock boiler plate rivetter (deceased)
Witness Clara Wilcock

Lily Alston (age at marriage was 23yrs)
3 The Green Smallbridge Nr Rochdale
FATHER William Christopher Alston labouer at paper mill (deceased)
Witness John W Alston

From this I have now been able to deduce Lily's parents but still VERY STUCK with WILCOCK

William Christopher Alston YOB 1874
Margaret Whitehead YOB?
married in St George Chorley Preston in 1899

HELP PLEASE! I have searched and cross referrenced but can only narrow down to several possible matches without Margaret's exact YOB known??

William Christopher Alston was the son of ?Alston and ?Harrison thats all I know so far.....

On 1901 census Rob Platt has wife of M.E. but there are children called Walker

Thats great it confirms Margaret & Williams first child for me as being Mary Alice born 1900

And narrows down Margaret's birth to 1877 0r 1878

Cheers

Bloomin Wilcock's seem to be a mystery and yet such a common name ;-)
