Can someone please look up Arthur Brotherton born 1885 in Manchester, Lancashire on the 1911 census.

Arthur is married to Edith Alice at that time, but i cannot decipher the two surnames of the brothers-in-law listed on it. I have tried Otler/Otter etc but no names have come up in the searches and yet they are on that census as living with Arthur and his Wife Edith Alice in 1911.

Thank you.

Thank you so much George and Marie Celeste, and thank you for the additional child which most probably is a second child.

Arthur unfortunately was killed in action in WW1 in France aged 29 years.
