Brick walls in the ancestors of Atherton-1576

Maria (Bunning) Howard (abt.1813-1880): Likely mother known (Elizabeth Bunning (abt.1792-1856)). It's unlikely that the name of Maria's father is recorded. It is not in her baptism record or her marriage record.
Sarah (Gibson) Phillips (abt.1810-1848): Marriage record states that she was a resident of the parish of Longford, where a Sarah daughter of John Gibson was baptized in 1810. Alternatively she may be the Sarah daughter of William and Ann Gibson baptized in 1807 in Tideswell. See research notes.
Ann Jane Gorton (abt.1808-1879): Married Thomas Verrall in London in 1834. No clues to parents on her marriage records. Census records say she was from Liverpool.
Samuel Hallam (abt.1789-abt.1866): Framework knitter from Calverton in Nottinghamshire. Married Sarah Brunt in 1814. Multiple candidates for baptisms in the parish registers.
William Oakley (bef.1807-aft.1835): Coal miner in Staffordshire, England; Gornall/Great Bridge area. Many Oakley families in this area, seems like all had a son called William. Probably married Mary Maria Cole in 1819.
Marianne (Thayre) Netherclift (abt.1813-1873): Married Frederick Matthew John Netherclift in 1838. Space for father on marriage registration is left blank. See discussion of possible parents in the research notes on her profile.
William Wagstaff (abt.1803-1859): Possibly the son of John & Ann Wagstaff, born in 1804.

Uncertain ancestors

Jane (Beech) Howard (1851-1899): Jane's father was probably William Beech (1807-bef.1889), but may have been William's brother, Henry Beech (abt.1816-aft.1847).
Albert Edward (Netherclift) Atherton (1870-1971): Complicated, see research notes.

DNA mysteries

Atherton-1576 shares DNA with descendants of two of the children of Robert Henry Mercer (1901-1970) and Eva Jessie (Tick) Mercer (1897-1969). One shares 229 cM, the other shares 58 cM. They are second cousins, so are likely to be somewhere between 2nd and 6th cousins of Atherton-1576. The link is likely on Atherton-1576's paternal side, but is not yet established.
