Nixon, Herbert (1843) & Eliza, in Hanley, Staffs

[ALMONDBLOSSOM]

Hi,
I hope I am placing my request for information in the correct place.

I am looking to find any information about Herbert Nixon (abt 1843), Potters Oven Man.

I have done quite a bit of research but I am hoping someone can verify for me that this herbert nixon's parents were William Nixon and Hannah (nee Lester) before I send off for a birth certificate. My problem is I have found another herbert nixon born the same year also in the Hanley area.

The herbert I am interested in was married to Eliza (nee Sutton), her parents were thomas & mary sutton and I have evidence of this as Herbert & Eliza were living with Eliza's parents at one point (1861 census).
Herbert had several children who mainly worked in the pottery industry in Hanley.
Herbert jnr, Teresa, Eliza, Mary and Catherine Hannah (Kate).

Any information about Herbert or his wife Eliza Sutton's heritage would be most welcome.

Thank you for your time.

Regards, Almondblossom.

Hi
I see one birth
Herbert Nixon 4th qtr 1842 Woolstanton vol 17 page 240.
I note 1851 census piece 2003 folio 47 page 240
looks a good match to the above birth
I see the other boy  on 1851 2005 /247/ 29 states born shelton 1841
 which matches this birth 1840 4th qtr stoke on trent vol 17 page 176
Hope this is of some help
