I've got this as an add on but can't seem to find out how to access these.

Trying to find John Scott b1791 who married Elizabeth Claridge b1801 in 1823. Think John was from Potterspury in Northamptonshire. They had three children Mary b1821, Elizabeth b1823 and William b1828 (1841 census).

Really trying to find John's parents to start with but any help would be much appreciated. It's my wife's side of the family and with Scott being very common it's giving me a lot of trouble.

Remember ages on the 1841 Census were rounded DOWN to the nearest 5, so someone shown as age 50 could have been born between 1787 and 1791 (age between 54 and 50 in 1841).

Have you found the children of the marriage? Their names often give an indication as to their grandparents' names
