Hi Joanne: This looks promising and worth some more work. There is a possible matching William on the 1851 census for Salford. He's an iron dresser at a foundry. He's married to Mary. They have these children Susannah, Joseph, Sarah Ann, Thomas and Ellen. Everyone was born in Salford. Susannah was baptised at the Collegiate Church on Easter Sunday 1837 and her father was a mechanic. So her parents (unfortunately) will have been married before Civil Registration began. Even so, I can't find a suitable marriage yet. I think it's likely that this William & Mary married before 1833 as there's a child Margaret baptised at the Collegiate Church to a William & Mary of Salford (Moulder). The family can be tracked through the censuses. I looked in case there was an aged parent living with them but there are no surprises. Just put this family on the pile of evidence and see what else turns up. Best wishes, Irene

I noticed in an 1844 map with Caygill street, Salford that two streets over in a north east direction over Greengate was an Iron Foundry and next to it was a Nortons Court.
