POTTER 1850 Westbury Workhouse look up request, please
« on: Tuesday 15 April 08 22:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I "think" I've just found my great grandmother, Ann Potter.

My previous information has her born at Tinhead near Bratton, near Westbury.
However, new, but albeit vague, information gives her birth at the local poor/workhouse.
Date of birth is around 1850; she died in 1941 aged 90.

Any information to put me on the right path, gratefully received.

Sincerest thanks, in advance.

Where did you 'find' her.

She is on the 1851 census age 2 months with a 29 year old Rachael Potter in the workhouse.

Is this the information you already have?

Hi Tricia,

Many thanks.  ;D ;D ;D

Didn't have her mother's christian name, just Ann Potter in the workhouse!!

If you could post Rachael's married name, even more  ;D ;D ;D ;D!!

All this because of a family funeral earlier today.  ::)
Trail had gone cold until then, so I'd been concentrating on my maternal grandmother's side. This is my maternal grandfather's side and it's been "quite" challenging, to say the least!!

Many, many thanks for your help; it's much appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Carol
