Any thought?

First is finding an Uplands Farm near Wootton (or Wotton) I have searched far and wide including all pages of Wootton in 1841/1851 census but so sign
I cannot find an ANDERSONs with a Wootton/Wotten connection or an Amelia & John ANDERSON in Surrey 1841 / 1851
I have had a look at some old O/S maps for Wotton but no trace of an Uplands Farm there either
Are you saying that a John ANDERSON married an Amelia LAMOTT ? no sign of a marriage for those names
My conclusion is that the information you have is either mixed up with the passage of time or perhaps meant to mislead (to cover tracks perhaps?)
Do you have anything else on them at all ?

Hi, Carol - It's been a few years since you posted this, but I just came across it. George William was my great great grandfather as well, and wanted to touch base with you.
