George Potter was my later father-in-law's uncle.  Ronald Potter was my husaband's father, and the son of Alfred Potter and his wife Eva Hart.

PM me if you would like further information.

Hi Dean, how's the research going?  My maiden name was Rowland and now my surname is Potter.  I live in Essex, Billericay, and I have a lot of the Rowland family history going back many generations.  Some of the Rowlands came from Little Oakley and so we may be related. 

My tree is stored mainly on GenesReunited but I also use Ancestry.

Regards

Fiona Potter (nee Rowland)

I can find no reference to an UPTON PLACE in West Ham but there once was a house by the name of UPTON HOUSE. 

The site Newhamstory.com has a number of entries with reference to the house, including:

Joseph Lord Lister 1827-1912 pioneer of antiseptic surgery was born  in Upton House. The house, one of West Hams finest, was built in 1731, possibly by Sir Philip Hall. It was at two-storey brick building with attics; frontage of nine bays faced with stucco. Although altered in the 19th century it retained early 18th century panelling and a fine staircase. It later became the Vicarage of St Peter's Church with a number of parish rooms.  In spite of campaigns to save it, it was demolished in 1968 and the site built over with maisonettes of a non-descript appearance.
