>Angela Thanks for that. >My excitement comes from finally finding my 4x G gran & family while looking >round the local villages for your Potter's >Only been looking for 10 yrs! >So THANKS Bob for your post :>) Good to hear that you had some success. I like the Deddington connection I now have a number of possible permutations but no direct connections. I have possible Richards with no parents and possible parents with no Richards. But how can I ever know which is the right one without corroboration? I wish more Parish records were on-line. I have found instances were there has been a Parish record but no corresponding IGI record - and v.v. Also there is a tendency for members IGI records to contradict each other. Now I have to sit and look at all the possibilities and maybe something will jump out at me - but it will be just conjecture without more information. Anyway, thanks again for the info. Regards Bob Potter in Tasmania

Hi Bob, I don't know whether you are aware of this but there is a will for a Richard POTTER, yeoman of Bloxham, 1771 - from the 'Index of Probate Records of Oxfordshire 1733-1857 and the Oxfordshire Peculiars 1547-1856' published by the Oxfordshire Record Society.
