Marriage Notes for Benjamin Bott and Elizabeth Abbotts-121
Marriage record was obtained through the LDS Extraction Program.

Research Note: Some RBFO members have suggested that Sarah Bott, christened on 3 January 1796 in St. John, Longton, died on 21 Feb 1847 (age 48) at Lanes End, Longton, Staffordshire, England (FHL Film #421571). However, there was another Sarah Bott who was christened on 20 December 1801 to a James and Ellen Bott of Lane End, Longton. An actual death certificate for the Sarah Bott who died on 21 Feb 1847 at Lanes End, Longton, Staffordshire, needs to be obtained from England to determine which of these two Sarah Bott's (or other Sarah Bott) actual died on 21 Feb 1847. Also, some RBFO members have suggested that Sarah Bott, christened on 3 January 1796 in St. John, Longton, may have married (by Banns) a William Blood (widower) on 20 May 1833 in Stoke-upon-Trent, England (FHL Film # 435855), and later married a Thomas Brian (Bryan) (husband #2, a bachelor) on 1 September 1839 in Chapel Fulford, Stone, Staffordshire, England (FHL Film # 426546). However, any possible connection between these two men and Sarah Bott (chr. 1796) has not yet been established and further research on this possibility needs to be conducted.
