Pottle

[alan w jones]

Hello ,
i have come across an old postcard photo of what I think is Alfred Charles Pottle and his family. If I am correct Alfred was born 1876 and married Elizabeth in 1900.
On the photo they are with one son and 2 daughters. I think they were from Kings Lynn.
Any more information would be welcome
Regards
Alan

*Finding Elizabeth in 1881 suggests that the Enumerator reversed the PoBs here !

Assuming they stayed in KL, some possible Births (theres also a 1913 one, but Mother's Maiden name BRUNDLE isnt right.)

By 1904 it looks like at least 2 Pottle families were around ...

Thanks for all that Newf, I think the children look like being Alfred, doris and Bessie , judging by the look of their ages. I wonder whether they have any descendants living.
I think my family probably have this card from grandads WW1 days, its signed A C Pottle, ASC, which is Army Service Corps to which grandad was in .
Regards
Alan

ties in with oldest sons PoB....

Heres a possible for Mrs E. Pottle as a youngster - it looks like the 1901 Enumeration reversed Alred & Elizabeth's PoBs ?

The Marriage Cert would efectively confirm if it shows this Father ..
