    • Notes 
      • Only two Isabella Potter's on 1851 cenus. One at Wigtown daughter of James and Agness and one in Uphall daughter of John Potter and Margaret Brown eg: the birth from Scots online.

        Possibly had a brother William Potter as one is a witness at the marriage in 1866.

        There is an Isabella Potter born Uphall 24.03.1846 daughter of John Potter and Margaret Brown on Scots Online. No other Isabella's between 1840-1850. Below but not James Potter and Christina Brown? Brother of James Potter?

        1861 Cenus Glasgow: Is this the correct family?? Only other Isabella Potter is at Wigtown?? Probably not correct family??
