This William Crook is a blacksmith striker. His age is listed as 15 but on the 41 census ages over 15 are rounded down to the nearest 5 or 0 so he could have been 15-19 making him born 1822-1826. He's with James Crook, 70 who is a cotton weaver. They're at the same address as Joshua, 30 & Catherine Crook, 25 & children.

This is the only James and Ellen Crook that I can see together in Lancashire on the 1841 census - but they are not old enough to have married in 1801. This James was born about 1801 - have you got your dates right? :-

40 years after they married

When were James and Ellen born ?
Did they stay in Manchester ?
Do you know they were still alive in 1841?
