If you buy Lucy's marriage certificate you will learn her father's name.

Family Relatives has the overseas available to browse and view page images for free however you will probably have to register first.

www.familyrelatives.com

There is a Louisa Potter registered between 1849 and 1854 but in Cologne.

Louisa Potter Cologne Vol 1 Page 409

The date range is no more precise than that and the actual page image does not give any indication to the year.
