Martin Winn's kids seem to have different mothers?

Think I need to reread this a few times.....

Definitely!

It's too much of a coincidence that brother James was also (intermittently) calling himself Storey.
I looked up a few of the children who appear with him as Storey in 1861, and the ones I could find on a quick search were registered as Forbes..... 

Well done William, who started off this new episode  I have to confess that I'd looked at the 1881 entry for James and family and didn't make the vital connection to Ann, Michael's widow.

Here is the Family Search version of James's 1861 entry.

For Stoney read Storey and for Aisbeck read Aisbett.

The birthplace of Etterby is actually Etherley.

Ah. Thanks Jen. That was the link I was missing. I have been hunting high and low. I have started putting the story together, it so mixed up, its slow going. The link really helps as I was not able to find a solid "source" that tied them together. I have a general idea whats going on, but still cannot understand what the family over some time was doing swapping names - wierd. Putting all this info into wikitree is a hair tearing exercise.

By the way - I just want to work out Nancy Forbes entry, I dont find her other than in the 1851 census with james Forbes.

She is still with him in 1861, as Ann. Nancy is a ‘pet’ name for Ann.

Thanks Jen. I had assumed that was the case, just wanted to be sure.
