Help finding baptism of Mary Bots born 1799 Flintshire

The key message is that the 1851 census you were relying on is the wrong family and there is no Lancaster connection. It looks like she came from Welshampton in Shropshire.

thank you just looking through now, looks like the marriage may be right (a few of my ancestors from that area have married in Chester)
Martha was born to Mary pre marriage and possibly added to her age for her marriage
interesting that Mary was at the house of Joseph Lee as I am trying to establish a connection to that family for a different branch

Thank you so much, slapping my wrist for adding that 1851 census without a thorough check

Both of Mary's marriages were at St Mary-on-the Hill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mary%27s_Centre,_Chester

I've just been looking back at this after reading John's will in which he mentions a brother Robert, I've also now found Robert's will mentioning Martha daughter of Mary Botts
my problem now is that I took the birthplace of John from the 1871 census (Wrenbury Cheshire) and found the baptism to William and Martha, as that wasn't my John I'm struggling to find a baptism for him anywhere, on the 1841 census his age was given as 55 so he could be 55-59

more searching and I think John and Robert were born to a John and Jane in Ellesmere
