Easiest way to find Hannah's maiden name is to buy the birth certificate of one of the children.

Here is Leonard's birth registration:-

Births Sep 1888 (>99%)

ROBINSON Leonard Ashton 8d 547

- - - -

Possible marriages are:-

Marriages Jun 1871 (>99%)

Hall Hannah Maria Ashton 8d 872
Powell James Ashton 8d 872
ROBINSON William Ashton 8d 872
STREET Martha Ashton 8d 872

and:-

Marriages Jun 1872 (>99%)

Challenger Joseph Ashton 8d 922
Halliday Hannah Ashton 8d 922
HULME Mary Ashton 8d 922
ROBINSON William Ashton 8d 922


I think the 1871 marriage was actually William and Martha


The 1872 marriage was I think definitely William and Hannah Halliday, as I could not find a Joseph Challenger with wife Hannah on the 1881 Census (process of elimination!!).

Hannah Halliday was born in Duckinfield

HOWEVER


all this is supposition until you get a birth certificate for one of the children to prove (or disprove) that Hannah Halliday is the mother's maiden name.
