There was an Elizabeth Whittam who died at age 36 in Burnley in 1862. So far I cannot find Elizabeth and James with their family in the 1871 census. I wonder if Elizabeth was the one who died in1862. There is a James, age 47, cotton weaver, born Worsthorne Lanc, with Sally Whittam, age 36, born Haworth Yorkshire, in the 1871 census with sons Benjamin and James with birth years and places which match. All the males were cotton weavers.

The marriage record shows a Wm. Harker as a witness. Was he a brother? The father is shown as James Rotherick.
