In 1911 31-year-old Arthur George Potter was working as a messenger for the Board of Education. He lived in three rooms at 86 Southville, Wandsworth Road, with his wife Louisa Ann Potter, 39. They were both born in Lambeth. A decade previously he lived with his parents, John Potter, a 53-year-old railway inspector born in Croydon, and Mary A. Potter, 54, originally from Sellack, Herefordshire. Arthur Potter’s brother Harold Potter, 17, was a railway engine cleaner. Henry Potter, 14, was still at school. The brothers were all born in Lambeth. The family lived at 19 Rosetta Street. The 1891 census shows that there was another brother, Walter, a year younger than Arthur, and born in Battersea.
