James Mottershead

[spwat]

Looking for the marriage of a James Mottershead(born Hulme) to Hannah(born Preston) in 1850's. There was a son Adam Spate Mottershead born around 1856 in Manchester.  I cant find any records for him either.
They were in the Hulme area of Manchester in 1861 census with an Elizabeth Dean James was listed as Son. Siblings were George(1860), Harriet(1861), John Thomas (1864) and Robert(1869) None of the siblings appear to have Spate in their name so it is possible that Hannah was married before I cant find any records that match though.

If Hannah's mother was Dean - where does the mmn of Speight/Spate come from I wonder.  Perhaps her mother was previously married

I thiink Elizabeth Dean is James' mother, not Hannah's. She's in Hulme in 1851 with husband Edward and 13yr old son James (surname Dean). There's also a marriage in 1844  Manchester involving an Elizabeth Mottershead and Edward Dean.

ln 1841 Elizabeth Mottershead with 7 yr old son James and Harriet, 15 is in Hulme
