hang on!
Just had a quick look at the 1901 census and found this which seems to be him even though the date of birth is slightly out:-

Name: Joseph Lewis
Age: 16
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1885
Relation: Son
Father's Name: Joseph
Mother's Name: Mary
Gender: Male
Where born: Brighton, Sussex, England

Civil parish: South Manchester
Ecclesiastical parish: Hulme Holy Trinity
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Street address: 90 Duke Street

Occupation: Ale Bottler (Cellar)

Registration district: Chorlton
Sub-registration district: Hulme
ED, institution, or vessel: 11
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 185
Household Members:
Name Age
Joseph Lewis 43 born: Parson Toron, Ireland (Groom Livery Stables)
Mary Lewis 41 born: Manchester, Lancashire
Joseph Lewis 16
Lily Lewis 9 born: Blackpool, Lancashire
Cathleen Lewis 8 born: Manchester, Lancashire
Minnie Lewis 8 born: Blackpool, Lancashire
Bertha E Lewis 4 born: Manchester, Lancashire

Have viewed the original record and the ages and places of birth seem to be correct but not sure how the two girls could have the same age but be born in different places, unless one was born at the beginning of the year and the other at the end of the year.

Parkin Hagar Wortley 9c 411
Wilkinson Annie Wortley 9c 411

You could have a look at the 1911 census:-

First names JOSEPH
Last names LEWIS
Birth Year 1880
Birth Place BRIGHTON
County Lancashire

HOUSEHOLD LEWIS JOSEPH M 1880 31 Chorlton Lancashire

Living in Chorlton so would seem to confirm Chorlton marriage.

Best to take a look at this first to see who is living in the same house.

This one is South Manchester:-

BURNS George Joseph Chorlton 8c 1098
Ellis Mary Letitia Chorlton 8c 1098
FITTES Eleanor Chorlton 8c 1098
LEWIS Joseph Chorlton 8c 1098

so a possible marriage?
