Hi
William Halbert married Alison Potts on 21 August 1863 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland. Both were listed as 'of this parish'. Witnesses were Adam Telfer and John Archison.
William was born about 1742 (Im presuming in Scotland) and died on 13 Dec 1803 in Newcastle upon Tyne in England.
Alison was born about 1743 (Im presuming in Scotland) and died on 28 December 1814 in Newcastle upon Tyne in England.
Their first of many children was born about 1766 in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction to find who William and Alisons parents were?
Ive found a record of a John Potts marrying Isabel Steele on 14 May 1731 in Kelso and then Margaret Williamson on 31 Jan 1835 in Kelso but have not been able to link these people as Alisons parents. The Potts name itself seems to be quite common.
