Thanks for your further input. I had got the 1881 census with William and his family. I also have them in 1891 and 1901. William Snr died 20th Aug 1882 in Cheetham, Manchester. Thomas Edward Corlett died 18th June 1882 and Richard Radcliffe Corlett died 19th April 1885. They are all buried at St Luke's in Cheetham Hill, Manchester. In 1901 all the children are still living with Catherine and with them is Thomas's wife Lily plus three children, one of which I think might not be Thomas's as he was born before they were married and is registered as Kay on FreeBMD. They are at RG13/3770/100/30.
I will look into the information you have given regarding William Jnr and his family. Thank you for your help once again. Melanie
