    Searching for Baptist Potts, born Derby 1834 and not located after 1851 census.
    However he was apparently still alive in mid 1890's and living in Waterhouses, Co. Durham as he is mentioned in his brother's will. Probably changed his first name-well you would wouldn't you- but surely he should turn up somewhere under his surname.

    Anyone any ideas??


    Still trying to find out how to get hold of S African marriage cert from 1850

    Well, he might have changed both names. Or the Will might have assumed he was still alive when he died. Or hemay have emigrated.

      That's weird, because the only entry on FreeBMD for that name is a death in Dec 1839 in Derby. Presumably a relative of his, if you have him on censuses!
