I appear to have majorly confused myself - which isn't difficult.
So I am looking for the wife of William Bott - 1911 - abt 1983 born in Packington, Leicestershire, probably died there too.
I believe he is the father of Joseph Ayre Bott - 1859 - 1946 born and died in Packington - Joseph is my great, great grandfather.
I have found Sarah Hatton and Sarah Bradshaw, both born abt 1816, however, I started my Ancestry tree some time ago and back then I was just adding people from other's trees (I have learned not to) and its gotten so messy with this group here.
There is a record for a William Bott in Ashby de la Zouch marrying Bradshaw in 1838 and the same name marrying Hatton in 1840 - is anyone able to clarify if anything I have here is correct?

Other births, do these tie in with the information you have. Presumably you have found the family in all of the census

Thank you for all of this - it does seem to be Bradshaw then doesn't it. I can't get my head around the Sarah Hatton marriage 2 years later then - Hatton who had a son with a William Bott and called the son Hatton Bott - I wonder if there were just two William Botts in the same place at the same time, marrying two Sarahs?

The William Bott that married Sarah Hatton was a farmer as was his father with the same name. He married in Whitwick
