When did they marry?

'Cheshire' is too vague for such a common name. Can you give more precise birthplace info.......

Could you also say where you have looked, to avoid duplication of effort.

so married pre 1829 the birth year of the eldest child on the 1841 census

sorry but i'm still looking for john harrison's parents names x

I have doubts about that, Shirley.
Here's the death of a John Harrison with the same parents, but he died 1840, whereas the John Harrison we're researching died between 1845 and 1851.

(Witton cum Twambrooks is in parish of Gt Budworth)

Here's a John Harrison born 1811, as was the one in the 1841 census:
