Linda.
Whilst I'm stalled putting data into an Access file to assist sorting out the 1036 Lancs Parish Clerks finds lets take a look at your William.
You must have more information on him such as a marriage. You gave us "William died in Liverpool in 1849 age 36" which gives us a birth of abt 1813.
Using the Lancs site this reveals 2 possible Williams

Thanks Peter
I've also been looking at that site trying to see if there is a way I can also automatically bring their data into the same Access file I'm creating. Rather tricky it seems but when complete I'll be able to search the "stirrup" family as well as it's spelling varients using any combinations I like.
It is very handy to be able to search bulk parishes like Lancs and Cheshire
Everything I've tried so far leads me to about 4 basic familys without linking any one to the other.
I'll probably be able to link into Lindas line too.
It's tougher than I thought but I'm persisting.

Phoebe Stirrup
I am not related to this lady but she has come up in research on another family.
Phoebe(aka Elisabeth) appears to have married Peter McAlpin. It looks like they purchased land in Muswellbrook, New south Wales in the name of Phoebe's daughter Harriet Cole on 30/5/1840. Harriet was 7 years old at the time. Peter was still around in June 1841 as he was summonsed to appear in a court case in Muswellbrook but was not around when the 1841 census was taken showing Phoebe as head of the household.
In 1850 Mrs Mildred Ellis (my ancestor) opened an inn "Fitz Roy Hotel" in Muswellbrook lately occupied by Mrs Phoebe McAlpin Baker and Confectioner.In 1863 "I Phoebe Wingrave, wife of Frederick Wingrave of Windeyer near Mudgee in the Colony of N.S.W, storekeeper, the mother of said Henry Richard Cloweth McAlpin" on land records dated 9/10/1863.
Phoebe was in Windeyer by 31/3/1852 when she married Frederick Wingrave, she described herself as a widow and gave her maiden name as Cloweth (Peter McAlpin was still alive).
This sounds like your lady

Yes this is indeed the same lady. 
I am getting close to completing my research on this ever elusive woman.
I have come across Mrs Ellis taking over from Phoebe McAlpin (whom she would have been known as at that time). Would you had any other details here on where the premises were?
She came to Australia as convict Elizabeth Harrison and it has been hard work to find that she was born Phoebe Stirrup 1807 Warrington Lancs.
I now have all her land purchases including the ones in her childrens names.
Looking back through her life she has used many names both illegally and legally.
Phebe Stirrup
Jane Webster

Elizabeth/Phoebe McAlpin
Elizabeth/Phoebe Cloweth
