Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: Potter Wentnor

Hi Fiona,
I've managed to  go back to 1851 on Find My Past and there is mention of the Hotchkiss family living in Hyssington. Edward Potter married Martha Hotchkiss in 1868 in Clun. The 1871 census tells me that Edward Potter and Martha were living in Bog Mines and my great grandfather was 1 years old. The census states that Edward is the lodger's son, so I guess that they were living with Edward's parents? The 1881 census has Edward Potter living with Martha and Richard but the family has extended to Maria ,aged 1, and Edward junior, aged 3.
The 1891 census shows Richard has moved to Wednesbury in the West Midlands and in 1901 he's living in West Bromwich with wife Eliza.
It would be fascinating to find out what happened to the Potters still living in Bog around the 1891 census.

Hi, My maternal great grandfather was Richard Potter born in Bog ,1870. Son of Edward Potter and wife Martha. I've done extensive research through census forms and Richard moved to West Bromwich in the West Midlands around 1911.
I visited Clun ,Wentnor and Bog yesterday (July 10th 2019) and the schollohouse from the lead mines village still stands as a visitor centre. Fascinating. I also came across a Thomas Potter buried in Shelve church with his wife Elizabeth
