Hanley Marriage 1826

Many thanks to all who have taken the time to look into this for me. I did have most of this information before (but not the possible Simpson connection which I will look into later); what I am lacking is baptisms for either James or Sarah. The Wolstanton death of Sarah in 1840 is not her, but she did die that year in Shelton aged 36. James remarried (Mary Ball in 1844) and from that I know his father was Joseph, a potter. But that's all I know and the only baptism of a James to a Joseph I can find is in 1809 and he died in 1827. So I hoped that there might be some info on James and Sarah's marriage that might point me in the right direction. What info that might be I have no idea but I am at the stage of clutching at straws.

I'm wondering if this baptism for 1820 could be James, that it was a late baptism and original birth year not recorded.

Jas. Brindley bp.20/6/1820 Burslem St John, son of Josh. (potter) and Elizabeth, abode Corbridge.

Various thinking's for this:  there is only one marriage between a Joseph Brindley and an Elizabeth and that was 11/5/1788 Stoke on Trent to Elizabeth Sonkey.   5 children baptised Burslem 1791-1801.  In 1841 a Joseph Brindley b.1766 Potter in Hanley, in 1851 your James states born Cobridge, in 1861 born Burslem, no other baptisms to a Joseph and Elizabeth 10 years either side of 1820.

Worth considering.

Thanks Annette. That's something I hadn't considered and certainly worth investigating.
