Thanks Jacqui, I have run into this spelling or place confusion several times with the Bott family, infact John Bott and his wife Elizabeth who ended up in Briernton, Heretfordshire is listed as born in Tamworth and not Tanworth, which threw me for a while. He is also listed as living in Henley in Arden yet he spent his formative years in Tanworth.
