Find Ancestors

Can anyone help? I am trying to trace George Knott, glass blower. Born about 1844, (Father of Thomas Knott born about 1886 shown on 1891 census living with his father George, and siblings James, William,Jame, Robert and Arther). They lived in the Lambeth area, London.
There appears to be several possible lines but all different and i can not figure which is correct. I thought George married a Jane Caney in 1865 aged 22, the marriage cert shows father as James Knott.I have found a George born 1843 whos father is William, mother Sarah (formally Pope). I have found a George B1846 Father John, Mother Sarah and am now totally confused and would like help to clarify which line is correct.Thank you

Oh i dont know, thats yet another line, i'm completely lost. i was trying to trace back from my grandfathers 1891 entry and his marriage cert (1911) which records father as George, no mother mentioned, i have found several possiblities as listed but all could be right, ive been at it all day and still cant see it.
(i think i listed two seperate posts for two diff family mebers but gave same title, have ammended, let me know if not correctly listed now) thank you for reading and helping

hi Vera, back again stopped for tea...yeh i guess thats all part of the fun..its just one of those lines that a lot of people get get intertwind and mis connect then they ALL angles seem right, as i say been at it all day and each time every one seemed a possiblity...but i'll follow your leads thanks guys...
Any hints as to recognise the good leads??

Cindy,
The only hint I can give is if you have been on it for so long...that you feel like tearing your hair out.........leave it and come back the next day :-))

It normally will then work out.

Regards Vera

I found the 1851 which Vera posted but was concerned because the wife's name was Emma, however, these christenings are parents James and Hannah and Hannah Jnr's address matches the census so it IS the correct family:
