	I don't think the older children are Samuel's. Although Sarah used her maiden surname when she married him, she had been married before. Here's Hannah's birth MELLORS, HANNAH LAMBERT MOTTERSHAW GRO Reference: 1873 D Quarter in RADFORD Volume 07B Page 237

	That explains it all good work rootsgatherer,on the marriage to Samuel Wallis she is down as a spinster wonder why she did that instead of say she was a widow. Thank you so much for all your help All the best Wendy

	Sometimes women claimed to be a spinster if the first husband was still alive and they couldn't afford a divorce but in Sarah's case William seems to have died. Two of my great grandfathers claimed that they were bachelors when they married for a second time but, in fact, both were widowers with a child from their first marriages. Perhaps it was the way the registrar asked the question. I wonder if I have found the correct marriage for William Mottershaw as Hannah's maiden surname on the children's births is definitely Lambert so either she had been married previously or Fletcher was a stepfather's surname.

	Hi rootgatherer, Thank you for all the info, don't worry to much abt the Mottershaw and Lambert's it the Wallis's I do at the moment but will keep all that info for when I do them. So going back to the Samuel and Sarah Wallis's children I found on the GRO site a William Wallis born Sept 1880 but mother's surname down as Mellor's cannot find a marriage between a Wallis and Mellors so maybe this is the son of my Samuel and Sarah what do you think.

	Firstly, yes I think you have the correct birth for William. Perhaps Samuel registered his birth and gave Sarah's previous married name (Mellors) as her maiden surname rather than Mottershaw. I have a look for Edwards birth.
