    1911 census he is William O'Connor, if you look at the other entries, they all look like C Connor. As to why Liverpool and a change of name, who knows.

    That's the same census - 1881. States birthplace Broughton Manchester.Broughton is in Salford where the birth was registered.

    There is a tree on Ancestry with all this info in which relates to the same family.


    You could order the birth cert from the GRO this would name the father also.


    Possible Birth reg - same mothers maiden name.
