I don't know about Michael having any other names, but unfortunately I've been limited by the availability of Irish records online. I can sense a trip to Dublin is needed...
I'll see if I can find the death records for Michael and Mary to see if that can give me any other information. I agree that the 1901 census stuff does look promising, both the Lyons and the Doherty returns. After all, it is a good Catholic family.

Re: 1901 Census request
I've been unable to find a marriage between Mary Doherty and Michael Harrison that would match with the information given on the 1911 census (married 19 years). By my calculations, that makes the marriage take place in 1892. The earliest marriage I could find for Mary Doherty is in 1894.
I have taken into account the similarities between the 1901 census for 48 Queens St Bury, and the 1911 census records which I have been able to verify as being my ancestors though. I'm going to head off to the library shortly in an attempt to find birth records for all of the children, see how they were actually registered. So far, I've not been able to find an "Ann Harrison" born Bury 1898, however there are two "Annie" records found for that year on FreeBMD. I'm starting to think that perhaps they Anglicised their names in the years between 1901 and 1911.

Re: 1901 Census request
Oh Good Lord, thank you Jimmy.
I'd been searching the Irish marriages. It hadn't occurred to me to check the English records. Thank you so much, it's really been helpful that so many people have looked and tried to find connections for me

1901
At 48 Queens St., Bury
Francis Harrison Head 28 Labourer at Paper Manufacturing Mill b. Ireland
Mary Harrison Wife 26 b. Ireland
Francis Harrison Son 7 Scholar b. Lancs., Bury
Mary Harrison Daur 4 Scholar b. Lancs., Bury
Annie Harrison Daur 3 b. Lancs., Bury
Hugh (similar to Hubert?) Harrison Son 1 b. Lancs., Bury
Patrick Doherty Brother-in-law 21 Labourer at Paper Manufacturing Mill b. Ireland
Catherine Granier Aunt Wid 40 Cotton Weaver b. Ireland
Norah Granier Cousin 6 b. Ireland
The names and ages of the children are so similar???
So, Catherine Granier would have been Francis' Aunt? Unfortunately, we can't tell whether it is a maternal or paternal aunt.
Also, another unfortunate thing is that 48 Queens Street no longer seems to exist. Although there is a rather large mill in the area, I'm not sure it was a paper mill but the windows and building design would make me hesitate to say it was a cotton mill.
