Marriage 1840 March quarter

William Pott
Elizabeth Pott, Lichfield, 17, 79

perhaps they were cousins/2nd cousins, hence the same surname, and mother-in-law with same surname.

Hope this helps

According to a Family Tree that has been handed down to me my paternal grandmother, Mary Ann Mitchell, died in 1943.  She was born in 1869 in Brydekirk (to James Mitchell & Margaret Marshall) and had 2 children out of wedlock, one being my father James Mitchell, and he was brought up in Annan by his aunt, Jane Bell, sister of Mary Ann.  I have tried without success to find a record her death - a visit to SGRO was unable to find her death within a year or two either side of 1943.  Nor have I been able to find her on the English records.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Patsy,
Like you I think it starts with a 'G' - see Gloucester a few entries below.  It might be Greentham, but don't know if there is or was such a place 

I don't think his wife was born in Staffordshire - it might be Buckinghamshire - the town is even less clear - maybe Offinder, Affinder 

Have you been able to find any of them on the 1861 census where it might give a clearer place of birth for them.  I've have a quick dig on Ancestry but couldn't find anything positive. 

Maybe someone else will be able to decipher it for you, it was a poor image.

Good luck

Jeanette

Glad to be of help
