POTTER in South Australia

[tina09]

I am looking for any information on the Potter family in particular Walter Potter, His father was Lazarus, He was born about 1865. His 1st marriage was in 1891 to Constance Butterfield and they had 3 children. In 1910 he remarried Beryl May Dowdell.
I would like to find his mother name and if he had any siblings and the children he had in his 2nd marriage.

There are 4 children registered to a  Lazarus POTTER and  a Mary Hannah HUDSON in South Australia but they are all born in the late 1890s and early 1900s so they are not the ones you are looking for.

I see this Lazarus fits with your query on the Cambridge Board

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=3hgn6h7pjbl95t04bmq2l87n04&topic=417784.new

I have found nothing further in SA.
Only Walter listing Lazarus as father at marriage, (prior to children of Lazarus' second marriage) Walters second marriage lists father as Nazareth in index
No deaths of children listing Lazarus as father and no births of children to Lazarus (prior to second marriage)

Have PMed the 3 births listed to Walters 1910 marriage to Beryl May Rosaville Dowdell. (She is the daughter of James - I have an interest in his sister Annie Rose - the marriage of Walter and Beryl was at Annie's home.  )

Hopefully someone may find something over the border in Vic

Cheers Kris

Another researcher's material makes mention of CLARA POTTER, daughter of LAZARUS POTTER.
