Thank you for this information. Much of it is new to me, especially the surnames for the wives.
After reading your message, I also did a bit of searching in the IGI records and found that James ETCHELLS, the father of Luke, may have married more than once--1) to Demeris ROTHWELL on 16 Oct 1791 in Cathedral, Manchester, and 2) Mary POLLETT 29 Nov 1795 in Cathedral, Manchester. There is a third marriage record for a James Etchells to Betty WOLSTENHOME on 20 May 1832 in Cathedral, Manchester, but by that time there are several other James Etchells so I am less sure if this is the same James.
The first 2 wives fit with other records including one for the christening of Henry ETCHELS to Jas Etchels and Damaris on 10 Jun 1792 Newton Heath, Lancashire, England. Mary was listed as the mother for later children.
