Help finding baptism of Mary Bots born 1799 Flintshire

[ShaunJ]

The 1851 census is fairly specific: the place of birth is stated as "Lancash. Lancaster"

I took it to actually be Lancaster, the Warrington Mary is still possible if she wasn't baptised where she was born but still not enough to be sure

There's something wrong here. John Sadler, farmer at Plasynycoed farm at Overton, died in 1848 (3rd April). You can view his Will on the NLW site - it mentions wife Mary, son John, daughter Jane who married John Jones, daughter Martha who married John Jones,  daughter Mary Ann, and a son Robert.

So that can't be the same family in Whitchurch in 1851.

Marriage of Martha Sadler and John Jones, 17 April 1843 at Wrexham Parish Church. She is the daughter of John Sadler, farmer. Her residence Acton. His residence Overton. He is a carrier, father John Jones, carrier.

She is of full age so must have been born before 17 April 1822. Casts doubt on that 1824 Chester marriage as being the right one for this Sadler family, and thus on Mary Bots being the mother.
