NotesCharles was placed at Fairbridge Farm School, Pinjarra, Western Australia. He was one of a party of 22 orphaned boys aged under 12 sent to Australia under the auspices of the Child Emigration Society, organised by Rhodes scholars at Oxford (Source: NLA Trove Newspapers).

He served in WWI:
POTTICARY CHARLES : Service Number - WX14527 : Date of birth - 11 Jul 1904 : Place of birth - SOMERSET ENGLAND : Place of enlistment - CLAREMONT WA : Next of Kin - POTTICARY GEORGE

Birthdate on Fairbridge record is 9 Aug 1905.

Possible matching birth in Devizes, Wiltshire, Sep qtr 1904, 5a 104. Also a birth for a George POTTICARY in Amesbury, Wiltshire, Jun qtr 1902, 5a 156, which may be his brother (but again does not match birthdate in Fairbridge record).

Possible death in Geraldton, WA in 1965 but age given as 52 (son of John & Ruth - which matches a 1901 marriage in Taunton).
