Hi My great-grandfather William BOTT was born about 1850 in Staffordshire. He married Emily KNOWLES on 17.1.1871 in Pinxton, Notts. He was 20 and a miner. The marriage cert gave his father as Thomas WHITEHOUSE, a brush maker. The Witnesses were John Mason and Sarah Simpson. He died 24.12.1933 in Pinxton aged 83. William had a brother Charles, no details known about him. When William was about 7, apparently their mother died and the 2 boys went to live in the Mansfield, Notts area with relations. I have looked at the 1861 and 1851 census at Nottingham and Stafford but cannot find either William (or Charles), with either surname. Does anything look familiar to anyone? Lesley Staffs
