I am interested in the Pottage family from Leeds/Wakefield.
Ethel Pottage was born in 1895 in Leeds - siblings Arthur, Harold, Annie, Edith, Ernest, Jessie, Florence.
Her parents were John and Annie Pottage b. 1858 in Wakefield and 1863 respectively. John's father was John Samuel Pottage (b. 1828 Tockwith).
Would love to hear from anyone with a connection or information.
Best wishes

Hi Annie
Thanks for the reply.
I haven't got that far back on the Pottage line yet. But am interested in anything you know that might connect them to Leeds.
Best wishes

Just come across your message on a search for Pottage. Hope you will still be able to read this after all this time. John Samuel Pottage (b Wakefield) and Elizabeth Carr (b Tockwith) were my 2 x great grandparents. Their son James William Pottage was my direct ancestor. He was your John's younger brother. I have quite a lot of information on the family.

Their marriage certificate reads John Pottage, 26, bachelor, solicitor's clerk, Albion Street, Wakefield, son of John Samuel Pottage, tailor, married Annie Thorpe, 21, spinster, 21 Brunswick Street, Normanton, dau of Joseph Thorpe, miner, at Normanton, 28 August 1883 Witnesses James William Pottage, Elizabeth Nicholson
I have the marriage certificate of John Samuel Pottage if you still need it. The Pottage line goes back, Joseph Pottage the whitesmith and Elizabeth Riddall, John Pottage and Rachel Hope, Matthew Pottage the blacksmith and Alice Hunt, John Pottage and Mary Forth, William Pottage of Riccall 1674.

The Thomas Pottage/Elizabeth Milner line to which Liverppol Annie refers is a different line. I have got no further back than Thomas Pottage the shoemaker at the moment so would love to hear if you now have. About 80% of all the Pottages in the world are descendants of William Pottage of 1674, but not Thomas Pottage the shoemaker.
-
Thanks to both of you for your messages. I'll look through my info and see if I can find any connections.

Hi all. Stumbled on this site after searching Pottage. LizzieL: John Samuel and Elizabeth are my 3x great grandparents with their daughter Sarah Ann, being the family line I'm linked to. I have a very excited 95 year old Grandma (Sarah's Grandaughter!) who relishes hearing things about her ancestors, so anything you can tell me will be greatly appreciated!

The person who has done most research on the Pottages is Julian, who has contributed earlier in this thread. Although he hasn't been active for a few months, your response to this thread should notify him that a message has been posted. Have you gone back further than John Samuel and Elizabeth Carr? I am really stuck on Elizabeth's mother. I know she was Sarah Freeman born in Ripon about 1796 from census info, but I can't find anything more.
Have started new thread earlier on Carr / Freeman

Wow! Thanks for the replies Rachel & Lizzie & Julian - I'd completely missed them until an email came today! Sorry.
I would love to have copies of John Samuel Pottage's marriage cert if poss. (and any others). If you are able then I'l DM you my email address.
Ethel was my wife's paternal grandmother so I think that makes you Rachel and my wife, Melanie (Mel) 3rd cousins!
Lizzie - what's your full line to James?
Thanks again for your kind help.

That's great Lizzie - hopefully Julian will see the notification!
I've not gone any further down that line yet - I've been concentrating on the Pottage/Wood line for my Grandma. My family tree passion has been reignited after catching up with elderly relatives at a funeral today who have been feeding me their memories!

Sorry to hear of your recent loss. I have some information on that side of the family, most from another distant cousin descended from Sarah Ann. I don't think he belongs to Roots Chat. If I can find a recent email address for him that works, I will suggest he joins. When you have made 3 posts I can PM you some information. I am trying to make it into sensible and readable format from my ancient family tree maker software

Thanks Lizzie. I didn't realise I needed to make 3 posts before PM-ing!

Hello there dear researcher, Elizabeth Carr born Tockwith is amongst other people related to me in a long line of people who go back to Wylliam Carre born 1573 in Tockwith and his Father before him Carre no first name mentioned or date of birth. Wife not mentioned, Daughter Anne Carre. All of the Carr family from Tockwith are connected to me although on my time line there are gaps here and there .
-
Hello and welcome to Rootschat. As you are also related to the Carrs of Tockwith, we must be distant cousins.
