what was his wife's name there is one in 1901 with Ann J and in 1891 Alice Joanna with son like post above me

yes Jess thats them And Alice/Ann/Albert (different names on different records) - joanna was his first wife, she died in 1917, but that is the last info i can find on the son James, they had another son Edward 1891 census he was down as Hornby then 1901 he was Ormerwood, then nothing.

Is this the 1920 marriage? Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1920 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference ORMERWOOD Peter MARCROFT Doris Oldham, St. James Oldham CE234/12/116 The only way to be sure it's the same person is to send for the marriage certificate and check the age at marriage and the fathers name. If they match the info you have chances are it's the same man.
