If you can get a copy of their marriage cert or check the church record at Ashton local studies, you'll then have the name of William's father, occupation and address. Hopefully William's age will also be on it and this will then help to go further back.

Are you able to visit Ashton local Studies? If not you could e-mail them and ask if they could look up the Parish Record for you. If you supply the names, year and St John's Dukinfield book 6 entry 198 they will be able to go straight to it.
Good luck
