Thank you all for your interest and comments.

In following the tree, I found the the Alice Crompton I was following, after her marriage to John Waterhouse, the only Alice Crompton I could find, with a father of James, was James Crompton, born about 1800 in Lancashire, and married to Martha Simister..

I will admit freely, that at the time, I did not notice that Alice's father was a hatter  :-[  I found a baptism for Alice in Oldham, and her father James was a spinner. It was only when I was doing more checking that I noticed that the marriage register had James as a hatter.

That is why I asked the question, as I was not sure about how different the occupations were.
