Ann - Your initial post says:
"James Lewis Laithwaite b: 1871 Turton, Lancashire possibly married either Clara Maude Allan(possible sister of Elizabeth Alice Allen) or Lillie Sarah Chalmers"
It looks to me like you've seen this hit from the GRO index:
Marriages Dec 1903 (>99%)
Allan Clara Maude Bolton 8c 533
Bendall John Joseph Bolton 8c 533
CHALMERS Lillie Sarah Bolton 8c 533
LAITHWAITE James Lewis Bolton 8c 533
but you were unaware of the existence of local indexes.
As you may lnow, one can buy BMD certs thru the local rego office that holds the original registers (except for official marr rego's that were held by each church)
One can also buy BMD certs thru the GRO who hold copies of all the local rego's.
(One can also buy m.certs from the church, if it's in their current rego. Their old rego's are usually deposited in some archive - typically the county records office.
The point of that was that some local indexes are (at least partly) online - see:
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd
What's of interest here is:
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/
Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1903
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
ALLAN Clara M LAITHWAITE James L Bradshaw, St Maxentius Bolton 22/2/35
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4679264
The local office organizes their records differently from the GRO, so the local ref gives difft info from the GRO's ref.
Most local refs have 3 elements:
1) a church or subdistrict code - they may not tell you code 22 is for Bradshaw, St Maxentius, but this index does.
For a birth or death, they may not tell you ASPL is the code for Aspull subdistrict - this one does, although it's guessable.
2) the 2nd element is a sequence number for the register, sequenced within the code 1 set.
3) the last element is a page or entry number Bolton & Wigan both use entry numbers.
Most local indexes use entry #s for marrs, so one knows who wed whom, even when they use page #s for Bs and Ds - e.g., Manchester.
As an aside, is I want to search FreeBMD or LancsBMD for just events occurring in Wigan or Bolton RDs, you can click on Bolton, then click on Wigan, but hold the Ctrl key down when clickin onthe second, third etc locations.
For dates in Lancs BMD, this works too for isolated years, but if I want to search 1837-1861, say, click on 1837, then hold the shift key down when I click on 1861.

FS has some parish rego's online. The collection
England, Manchester, Parish Registers, 1603-1910
Includes some Bolton churches, viz
Bolton, All Souls
Bolton, St James
Deansgate, St John
Farnworth with Kearsley, St. John The Evangelist
Farnworth, St Peter
Great Lever, St Bartholomew
Great Lever, St Michael
Halliwell, St Thomas
Heywood, St James
Heywood, St Luke
Horwich, Holy Trinity
Little Hulton, St John the Baptist
Radcliffe, St Mary
Spotland, St Clement
Turton, St Anne
Westhoughton, St James
Last time I checked, the collection was not fully indexed, so sometimes one has to "browse the images".
Knowing the entry number one is after is a big help in locating images of the original marr rego's.
Another useful resource for Bolton is:
http://www.bolton.gov.uk/website/pages/Burials.aspx
We operate seven cemeteries, these can be found in:
Astley Bridge (Eden Street, Astley Bridge, Bolton, BL1 6NU)
Blackrod (Manchester Rd, Blackrod, Bolton BL6 5LS)
Farnworth (Cemetery Road, Farnworth, Bolton, BL4 7QY)
Heaton (Gilnow Rd, Bolton BL1 4LH)
Horwich, AKA Ridgmont (Chorley Old Road, Horwich, Bolton, BL6 6BD)
Tonge (Cemetery Road, Bolton, Lancashire BL2 6AG)
Westhoughton (Cemetery Street, Westhoughton, Bolton, BL5 2BG)
From Deceasedonline
All 415,000 burial and cremation records for Bolton Council in the county of Lancashire, North West England are available online. There are seven cemeteries and one crematorium.

If this is your Thos:
1851 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SG56-DVY
Event Place Borough And Township Of Wigan, Lancashire, England
Registration District Wigan
Registration Number HO107 Piece/Folio 2199 / 876 Page Number 47
Richard Allan Head M 33 Haigh, Lancashire
Alice Allan Wife F 35 Norwich, Lancashire
Thomas Allan Son M 13 Aspull, Lancashire
Walter Allan Son M 11 Darcy Lever, Lancashire
William Allan Son M 0 Wigan, Lancashire
[Horwich seems more likely than Norwich, but I've not seen the image]
then the following is relevant [NB Haigh village is just 1km from Aspull village, and both are in the Aspull subdistrict of Wigan RD]
[I've appended the quarter of registration]
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years:
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
1837[38q1] ALLAN Thomas Elisha Aspull Wigan & Leigh SUMNER ASPL/1/115
1839q3 ALLAN William S[Sumner] Lever Bolton SUMNER LEV/1/481
1850q3 ALLAN William Edward Wigan Wigan & Leigh SUMNER WIG/29/375
It would seem that William 1839 was renamed as Walter.
There is a provision on b.certs for the name to be changed within 6 m - see col 10 of a b.cert.
Actually, under English common law, all that was necessary for a legal change of name is that one starts using the new name, and that there be no fraudulent purpose.
My niece took this route when she took on her stepdad's surname, i.e., my bro's surname.
My bro said people love to see a bit of paper - it makes life easier when changing school records etc.
He said the cheapest thing he could do was place an ad in the local paper saying Mary X would be known as Mary Y from such and such a date.
He bought several copies of the newspaper, and xeroxed the ad several times.
He said it made life easier and was worth the few quid the ad and papers cost.
Of course as William/Walter was a minor (as was my niece), the decision was really up to the parent or guardian.
As one might guess, Richard and Alice wed before civil registration began.
This is also a useful site:

-------------
As you may know, the UK nominal census day was 6/6/1841, and some Sunday (at midnight) at the end of March, beg of April in 1851-1911.
The US nominal census day was 1st June for 1830-1900.
The census had to be conducted in different ways.
In both censuses, an enumeration district was given to one one enumerator.
In the UK, this was supposed to be limited to a maximum distance travelled on the walk of 15 miles.
In the UK, it was more efficient to have the enumerator do the walk at least twice.
In the week before the census, he'ld go round and drop off census forms for folk to fill out, then on the Monday after census day, he'ld go round and pick up the filled in forms, checking them to make sure they were done OK, and helping folk fill them out when necessary.
He might have to revisit some houses if they were out on the Monday.
When he'd done that, he copied all the forms onto a census summary sheet. Thru 1901, the original completed forms were then destroyed, and only the summary sheets were kept.
In the US, especially out west, an enumerators walk could cover 1000sq miles in some cases, so just visiting every house once could take weeks.
So, starting after census day, the enumerator visited each house, and asked the questions at the threshold (or the kitchen table in some more rural areas), and he filled out the answers.
The actual day a h/h was visited was often written in the page header.
