Maybe I misunderstood; I thought you said they were potters. Perhaps they were labourers in the pottery industry? Have you looked at the possible employers around where they were living? There may be something about them in archives. I would contact the firms and look in the local archives. You could also look for parish records to see if any settlement certificates etc have survived. I have found out quite a lot about my ancestors this way but I had to sift through a lot of papers; wages books, sickness records, piece work details, rent books, etc. If you are lucky and the parish records have survived you may find them mentioned in the poor law records which should tell you the parish they were settled in before arriving in Stoke.
