Great great grandfather John Kershaw

I to am interested in tracking down John Kershaw's.In my case, I'm talking about a John Kershaw, born in 1852 in Northowram, died in 1920 in Queensbury.John married Mary Ann Sutcliffe and they had 8 children.Their third child, Sebright Kershaw, was my grandfather.
I've had trouble finding John Kershaw'w parents.Right now, subject to better information, I believe that his mother might have been Mary Ann Kershaw (b.1839), whose mother was Hannah Kershaw (b.1821), whose mother was Sarah Kershaw (b.1785).
I've sent for John Kershaw marriage record from the GRO.Plan to also request his birth record.
I've found a John Kershaw (b.25 Feb 1744 in Clayton, Bradford, Yorkshire) who married a Judith Riley (b.1742 in Clayton, Bradford, Yorkshire).They had 3 children (Mally, Ann and Hanna).Ann Kershaw (b.1775 in Northowram) married Timothy Noble on 16 May 1796.So far, I've not been able to track any of these Kershaw's to my great grandfather.
Does any of this fit with your information?
