Hi Jim,

Thank you so much for the information.  My direct Pottinger ancestor is a William Pottinger (born and raised in East Ilsley, Berkshire) who married a Sarah and their child was a son William Pottinger born in Cork, Ireland in 1805 (William Pottinger left Berkshire and went into the army in 1804 or so).  I am interested in finding the Sarah he married, so I was interested in getting all the information on the Sarah White and William Pottinger marriage record in Chilvers Coton that seems to fit the best so far for some possible clues.  Do you have any access to the marriage records in the Chilvers Coton area?

On another note, if your direct ancestor, William White (b. 1806), is the son of David White, you might be interested to know that David's mother, Mary (Kinder) White is from the Kinder family who lived in the area (on the same street no less) all the way back to the 1400s and beyond.  I have an article on this Kinder family if you are interested.

Thank you again,

Diane

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your last entry! Every little bit helps and this John Simpson is definitely a complicated mystery for my Pottinger family that originates in Berkshire. Do you only specialize in look-ups in the London area or are there other areas within England as well?

Thanks again and you're so kind!

Take care!

Diane

Thanks, Jan, for spending your time helping me.  I'm running out of ideas and I'll have to think about this more.  But when you get the chance can you look up two final christening records for me and then I'll have to think about what I have?:

Mary Anne Simpson born to John and Mary Ann Simpson
04 JUN 1843  Old Church, Saint Pancras, London, England (born 16 DEC 1840).

and then look for an Emma Simpson christened around 1841-44 in Saint Pancras

[Note the record no one could find: Emma Simpson born to John and Mary Ann Simpson
25 JUN 1843  St Pauls, Hammersmith, London, England (born 8 May, 1842).]

Best regards,

Diane

Hi,

Thanks!  I believe the mother, Sarah Simpson, may have died too by 1825.  Is there a burial for either John Simpson (c. 1821), the son, or Sarah Simpson the mother perhaps between 30-40 years old.

Thanks,

Diane
