There's a William Sharp aged 6 and family that match your criteria, living at 118 Warrington Road, Ince in Makerfield. The father, mother and first few children were born in Walsall. It says Sharp on the image.

That's the only likely match, using the wildcard searches for Sha* and She* aged 6 born and living in Ince.

It's on Findmypast, which is where FamilySearch gets its census info from (apart from the 1881). You can use the free search on findmypast (i.e. even without a sub) to find out the names of the other people in the household:
William Sharrett 30
Alice Sharrett 28
John Sharrett 8
William Sharrett 6
Beatrice Sharrett 4

They're listed as Harritt on ancestry. The image on ancestry is very faint; I wouldn't like to guess what it actually says. Maybe it is clearer on fmp.

I'm almost certain the address is 1 Adelaide Street. The image is slightly clearer on the next page and the street name is definitely is Adelaide Street on there.

No wonder I couldn't find it. No perseverance!
