Foot Family

The Foot's in my family have been a odd bunch to trace, I can't find anything solid on them.

If anyone could give me a hand of something it would be a great help. I'll list down all of the info I have and i'll be having a look to..

This is what I know, But I have no idea how accurate it really is.

According to the 1911 census, James Foot was born in 1884 in Tottenham. He married his wife Hannah Wright in 1905 in Hackney (I've managed to trace her family fine)
On the 1911 census James' mother was living with the family, her name was Mary ann and she was born in 1841 in Ireland.

I've been looking for other census records with James & Mary ann however everything i've found so far doesn't match up :|

Forgot to add this!
I have a copy of James and Hannah's marriage certificate and James' fathers name was stated as being James as well.

EDIT: The father James was dead by 1905, and he was a "Carpenter/Journeyman"

That is the family in 1911.
My mistake, I got my dates off my tree maker and I must of made a typo on that. Thanks for pointing that out :D

Ooh!
Theres a Parish Marriage record on ancestry between a Mary ann hartnall & James Foot. Can anyone look that up?
If mary ann was married twice it should state her fathers name which would give her maiden name wouldn't it?
