Apologies Eringobragh1916 , been out all day.
I think you are right about nos. 90 and 94 Leeds Street being mine. As a matter of interest, Mary snr. also appears on the 1891 census living with Daughter Mary and Son im Law Michael Moffat (spelling change) and their 7 children at 78, Turkey Street, Keighley. She died in June of 1891, (too much babysitting??)
This has narrowed the search down a great deal. Many thanks for your help.

Neil...Thanks for the Humour...!!!

Have had a look around and there are dozens of Macks and Brearton's (As per Spelling) in and around the Bradford and adjacent areas...
I did find a Death for a Michael Brearton aged 80 years Reg.Sept.1872 Keighley but if that was your Michael then "Mary" his wife was a number of years younger if she is the one with Michael jnr.1881....

Do you have any idea where the children were Baptised...?

I am afraid that the only definite child details are those for Mary b.1853 at 25, Warwick Street, Bradford. Presumably baptised in Bradford.
Here is what I think is nearest so far:
1851 census 24, Wapping St. Bradford (FannyBG post 22.48 26/4)
1871 census Baptist Sq. Keighley (FannyBG post 20.09 26/4)
1881 census 90, Leeds St. , Keighley (AnnGG post 20.17 26/4)
1881 census 94, Leeds St, Keighley (Eringobragh1916 9.38 today)
1891 census 78, Turkey St. Keighley(detailed my post 17.08 today)

These References use 3 different spellings:
Brearton, Brierton, Brayton
There does not seem to be a plausible census return for my Breartons in 1861, and even the above means that the Breartons had 5 children in all, only one of whom is still around by 1891, when Mary Snr. died. I believe that Michael snr died Bradford Jun 1863 9b 42 age abt 52
