Welcome to ireland Reaching Out!
Civil registration for births did not start until 1864. Prior to 1864 the only source would be church baptismal records if . they exist. Roots Ireland only has RC records for Aghaloo parish but the baptisms start in 1846 and marriages in 1826. What was their religious denomination? The 1858 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing shows four Potter records including a John http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/tyrone/aghaloo.htm Possibly this could be your ancestor if he was still alive.
