From my source - (in fact William was the son of Humphrey Potter, not Humphrey Abel Potter!) Francis and Julia had a brother named William(Bill) Potter Who lived in Dartford. My mother-in-Law remembers going to his Funeral, she thinks he had 4 children. I hope she can remember more. Regards
William was a witness at the marriage of Frances Maud Emily Potter, but he gave his name as William Costin Potter
William married Rosina Martha "Rose" BALAM, daughter of James BALAM and Mary Ann SKEET, on 3 Jan 1891 in Stepney, London, England.1 (Rosina Martha "Rose" BALAM was born circa Sep 1866 in Shadwell, Stepney, London, England and died Dec Q 1943 in Hackney, London, England.)
