Thanks Elouise but but my William Winstanley was born 1794 or 1795 so It could be either the Rotherham or the Newcastle Under Lyme. As you say pot luck I think.

I suppose any of these could have been his 1st marriage

There'sm also these:

William born 1801 Ely Cambridge...to William and Dinah

pot luck I think!

In ENgland all that's showing between 1790-1800 for births are these 2 outside Lanashire, but not all have been transcribed and some not been baptised....

50. WILLIAM WINSTANDLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 02 NOV 1794 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England

51. WM WENSTONLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 20 APR 1794 Newcastle Under Lyme, Stafford, England

Thanks Elouise I have tried Lancs and Cheshire the only match I can find is Yorkshire although I am only guessing.

William may have married 1st time round in another county, as in the 1841 states not birn in county....at a guess I'd say Cheshire or he came over from Ireland...Wales

Although Winstanley does seem to be a Lancashire surname...

Susan - William Winstanley seems to be a very popular name in Lancashire during that period. There are numerous birth and marriage records on Family Search - http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch.

You might find it interesting to have a look on there (it's free and easy to use).

maybe his 2nd marriage?

and his first wife could have been Elizabeth:
