OK - I've been doing some more poking around. I looked at your profiles and decided to start with Walter Scott marrying Emma Lucretia Kent which took place in Preston in Lancashire:
Marriages Mar 1893
Kent Emma Lucretia Preston 8e 737
Scott Walter Preston 8e 737
The 1901 census in Bolton lists Walter's place of birth as Wigan, c1870.
The 1871 census has this family in Wigan:

Citing this Record
"England and Wales Census, 1871", database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KD65-5SW : 24 July 2015), John Scott, 1871.
So, we have a Walter now with parents John and Mary. There are many Walter Scott's born in Lancashire between 1868 and 1870, but the good news is I can only find one born in Wigan:
SCOTT, WALTER LOWE - GRO Reference: 1869 Sep Quarter in WIGAN Volume 08C Page 64
The LOWE is the mothers maiden name. So I now searched for a marriage between Scott & Lowe and found this. Nantwich is in Cheshire, same as John's birthplace:
Marriages Jun 1864
Lowe Mary Nantwich 8a 414
Scott John Nantwich 8a 414
John Scott died in 1872:
Deaths Mar 1872
Scott John 30 Wigan 8c 18
and Mary Scott remarried in 1873:
Marriages Mar 1873
Dodd James Wigan 8c 95
Scott Mary Wigan 8c 95
