A Hercules Atkin married a Brid. Kelly (nee Lonagan) 1867 St Marys Kirkdale ..Ref:2013Wd/3/56.

This could be a son of Hercules snr...given himself was abt 60yrs on the 1851 Census is more likely to be a son...possibilty it may be Hercules aged 11yrs living with Edward and Jane 1861 although I think he may be a little young to marrying a widow.
