I got the name of Mary Dale from the births from one of their children, Alice Cotterill who was born in 1881. But i just cant find the marriage!!.

did you get the name Dale from a child's birth cert Patrick?

There is this marraige (1868 from freebmd)

Cheshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1866 to 1870
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
COTTERELL John DEANE Mary Middlewich, St Michael & All Angels Cheshire Central 1063/2/394

definitely not the John Broome Cotterill one

Cheshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1861 to 1865
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
COTTERILL John Broome COOPER Eliza Prestbury, St Peter Cheshire East 1074/17/181

also the Mary dale marriage 1864 page 1_0 is actually the page 183 one shown. There is only one on the image

I think Pam has got the correct family because according to the 1871 Census John,his wife Mary and their child Mary Hannah were all born in Middlewich in the reg district of Northwich. Therefore I would rule out the Macclesfield marriage which is too far away from the place of birth.

This appears to be their first child's birth registration
