Potts. I am stuck, can anyone help?
« on: Saturday 06 March 10 15:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Wondered if anyone can help me.

I am trying to trace my Grandfather’s side of the family in my tree, he was called Isaac Potts.

I have managed to trace the Potts’s back to William Potts b.1766 in Yorkshire.
He was married to Sarah Gregg; I do not know when or where she was born.

I have found him on 1841 census he was in a private asylum called 'moor cottage' in Nunkeeling With Bewholme, Yorkshire, aged 75.

I know he had a son called John Potts b.1795 in Yorkshire, he married Ann?
I do not know her maiden name but she was born in 1796 in Yorkshire and they had 5 children.

But that is where I get stuck.

If you can help me you can contact me at (*)

Hi Karen
We generally prefer to work back from known facts so it would help if you can quote a census record for an ancestor that you are sure about.  eg one of the children of John and Ann.    Seeing where they were born might lead to the marriage.
Regards
Andrea
