Mary Potts, age 1, born in Durham County
They were living right next door to Ann's parents, William and Margaret Kirkbride.
there should have been a son Matthew, aged about 10 or 11 here also not sure where he might have been - maybe visiting other relatives ??
(Note - there is another Ann Potts with son Matthew and daughter Elizabeth on Church Street in Monkwearmouth
they are still there in 1851 with additional children, but they are not the correct family)
