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
