I received a obit from a cousin and they said that this was a person related to us. I'm looking for thoughts on this theory.
Sarah Elizabeth (Pott) Warren born 1898 Burton- died Aug 16, 1925 Brook Farm, Snelston married
Thomas Warren about 1919.
Son Thomas W Warren born about 1921.
Here is where it gets misty, Sarah's parents (possibly) were William and Mary Pott, sisters were Rosina and Mary according to the obit.

Hello Rodney,
1901 RG13/2646/131/36114 Tutbury Road, Horninglow, Staffs Reg. dis Burton on Trent
William H POTTS Head 25 Winshill brewer's lab.
Mary wife 26 Kniveton
Sarah E dau 2 Tutbury
there are two birth entries for
Sarah Elizabeth POTT Dec q 1898 Burton on Trent
vol 5b & vol 6b both page 374
birth entry for
Rosina POTTSep q 1901 Burton on Trent
vol 6b page 458
I would suggest to start with if you are sure that you know Sarah's birth date to be correct (1898) it may be a good idea to order this first at least this would give you both names of her parents, where as if you ordered the marriage certificate you would only get the father's names.

The obit mentions a uncle MR. Eyre so I believe William married a Mary Eyre.
I can find a marriage for them with Mary's father listed as John

After laying in bed it came to me that Sarah Pott sister to my Great grandfather had a child out of wedlock and his name was William.
I found him in the 1881 census living in Alwrewas with his Uncle and Aunt Francis & Ann Pott who was Sarah's other brother.
I just have not been able to connect the 2 Williams together for sure. What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Rodney
I'm afraid I'm a little confused re William POTT born out of wedlock on 1881 census with his Uncle Francis brother of Sarah (do you have the reference number 1881c?).
I'm guessing that this is another Sarah POTT? As the Sarah Elizabeth POTT you mentioned above was not born until 1898.
So are you trying to connect the William H POTT married to Mary and the William POTT living with Francis & Ann POTT?
