They're Lodging with Mary Gallagher at:
7 Gardner St, Manchester on the 1881 Census:
Ref:RG11 Piece 3931 Folio 19 Page 32.
Now all I need to do is to try and find him on the 1901 and 1911 Censuses!

Ashton under Lyne was the County Depot
He signed up for 6 years (actually 7y 4 m) from 17 Nov 1886. age 22y 10m
He was unmarried according to his father Richard of 6 Harper St who vouched and signed for the recruit!!!!!
