Motley's of Lincolnshire, England

[thebabsie]

I have run into a problem and am hoping that someone can help me.  My ancestral lineage stems from the Motley's of Lincolnshire, England.  I have traced them back to James Motley and Sarah Cutler.  I have that James Motley was born 27 Dec 1730 Harrington, Lincolnshire and married Sarah Cutler on 11 August 1752 at St Phillip & St Jacobs Bristol, Gloucester, England.
Their son, William Motley, was born  1776  in Lincolnshire, England.  (Sorry, I don't have an exact date of William's Birth.)  The problem is that Sarah would have been 56 years old when she had William as her birth is recorded as 1720.  That's all I have.  I don't know Sarah Cutler parents name or anything else about her.  Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

How do you know that his mother is Sarah Cutler?

Looks a bit messy
We need to back track a little I think.

William MOTLEY Christened 12 May 1776, Stickney, Lincolnshire
Parents JAMES/SARAH
Siblings on same Batch in Stickney;
WILLM Motlow, 25 March 1770, Buried 06 Sept 1770
THOS Motlow, 09 June 1771 (may have died)
THOS Motlow, 29 May 1774
Both of these only have Fathers name JAMES

These are also on FreeREG under Motlow+
JOHN Matlow, 14 August 1768, St Luke, Stickney, Father JAMES

Do you have any earlier Children to them if you think they Married 1752?
I notice that is a submitted marriage record on the IGI.

Burial of a JAMES Motlow, 28 June 1783, Stickney, age not given. (FreeREG)
Burial of a SARAH Motley, age 75 (Birth c 1748), 05 April 1823, Lincoln (F/S)

The Sarah Burial although not proven to be yours, would fit better for someone having Children 1768-1774.

They certainly moved around if they are right  

Thanks for that burial Trish I was just going to see if I could find it.

An alternative might be a marriage 1784 Stickney, Sarah MOTLOW to George PLANT ... checking now.

EDIT:  Marriage register doesn't say widow, so perhaps it was the daughter http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=619067&iid=285312

... as her birth is recorded as 1720. 

By whom?

James MOTLEY married Sarah WEATHERHOG 2 Oct 1753 at Scamblesby

There must be a fair chance that she was born there http://tinyurl.com/74y3ets

I hate to think that someone has been picking stuff from all over the country from the IGI because it "sort of" fits.
