Hi Barbara.
In addition to the three census records you have been given.

John Burrows Parker was born 1943 Jan/March Qtr. registered in Chesterfield. vol 19 page 473. Copy of this certificate will give you his parents, and hopefully, his Mums maiden name.

Marriage of John to Mary Cawthorne. 1868 Jan/March Qtr. reg in Sheffield. vol 9c 436.
This certificate will give their Father's names and occupations, and witnesses who may be siblings.

The Herbert Cawthorne you have been given on the 1851 was shown as Nephew.

Hope this helps. Ethel.

Longshot theory.

I looked for Rebecca Parker on the 1851 census, and there is one c1838 born Eckington noted as a Dau in Law with poss mother Mary c1820 Eckington.

Mary is married to a John Mallender c1813 Eckington.

In 1841 2 houses away from the Parkers was a John Mallender c1816.
