I had a look at other’s on that tree and I too believe some of the children listed can be found in censuses with different family.

Some births:

Thank you so much for your help.
I have gone through the sources again it would seem the person who submitted my family also submitted the marriage of James and Sarah. Their information is also sourced from the same records I have so I take it back that the parents may not be the correct ones, it is a possibility. Also the area Shelderslow on the marriage is in the right place. It's a matter of picking out the correct info. from the incorrect info.
I am in the process of writing up my family history would be nice to have Sarah's maiden name just to complete the information. So much nicer than having a Chr. name and unknown as I have with a few of my family.
Thank you again
Cheers

Thanks Jamjar. I have the family on the 41 51 61 and 71 census. Sarah is a widow in 71.
Must check out the Lancs online parish clerk site shortly to see if I can find anything on there.

Just had another look at the 1851 census. At the top of the page is a Sophia and Emma Dunkerley so went back online and had a look at the previous page.
A John and Martha Dunkerley are the parents. Is there a connection or just a red herring. Interesting there is a family with the same name close by.

[Jamjar]

Could be a brother of Sarah.

I have not been able to prove the birth of my great grandmother as her name is Mary Ann Brookes, to many to guess around the year of her birth 1852.

However I have found the birth of her older brother was Lees Brooks born 1848 Saddleworth Yorkshire. Lees died 7 Feb. 1852 aged 3. Registered in Lancaster.

I have his parents James and Sarah Brooks.

They also had another child called either Edda, Edd or Edola but have not found a birth for this boy.
