Right,

John Potter 1856 born Kent married Susan Tullett 1861 born Croydon Surrey. John was a Blacksmith.

John's father was a William Potter. So now I am going to look for John when he was younger.

Dea

Dea Report 30 Oct 2011 10:40

To be honest Julie, I don't think that he is related - I have traced both families back quite a way and cannot see a connection.

Herbert Job's family all seem to come from kent.

The strange thing is though that on 1911 census, John gives Maidstone, Kent as his birthplace. This does not appear on previous census !!!

There may possibly be a distant connection, 'way back' but there does not appear to be a direct link anywhere.

I will take another look at it later today.

O.K. then,

I have done some looking around and, as already said, all the info found for you above is correct for the Herbert Job Potter who's details you have been given.

He is the son of Job Potter and Parnel Tilby D Lilly

Their marriage:
Marriages Mar 1870
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lilly Parnel Tilby D Maidstone 2a 633
Potter Job Maidstone 2a 633

The 1918 address if from his Army records!

Now we need to know HOW you think that Herbert Job connects to 'your' Potters ??

We can then help you follow both families back and see if we can prove the connection.
