When my mum met my dad in 1956, he told her that he was related to the Boxer Don Cockell, but as far as I know he never told her how they were related, all I have to go on is that dad was born in Battersea and there are Blacksmiths in his ancestral line. Don Cockell was a Blacksmith.
Dads parents Frederick Charles Potter and Lily Howell married in 1919 and lived at 10 Latchmere Street, where my dad was born.
Frederick dad George Potter born in 1861 was a Blacksmith Hammerman.
There ia also a David Potter born in 1834 also a Blacksmith and George Potter born in 1810 occupation was Smith in 1851 census.
Im new to this site and tried to post on another page on this site that mentioned Don Cockell which mentioned an Alfred Potter on it but didn't manage to, hoping that someone sees this post that can help me.
