William George Potter 1901 census - cant find him???
« on: Wednesday 08 April 09 13:24 UTC (UK) »
Hi

Please can someone help me find my missing relative. His name is William George Potter born around 1873 in Brighton. I have found him in the 1891 census still with his mum and brother, but cant locate him in the 1901 census or the 1911 census. I know he married in 1912 but I would love to know what he was up to before then.

Any help would be fantastic.

He may very well have been in South Africa   Smiley    Lots of chaps of that age are "missing" from the 1901   -  the Boer War was in full swing   Smiley

Is there any way of finding out if he was serving?

I'm afraid I don't know   Embarrassed

Try a post on the Armed Forces board - they're very good at that sort of thing on there   Cheesy

1901...

Misindexed on Ancestry as Patter... but on original the vowel 'o' looks badly written - something between an "a" and an "o".

1901 at 289 Queens Park Road
Registration district: Brighton 
Sub registration district: East Brighton 
Emma Patter 56 born in Brighton, Head, Widowed
William G Patter 27 born in Brighton, Unmarried, General Labourer
Sharing the dwelling with other households

Have you tried looking for them as Patter in 1911?
