Here they are :

1911 Census : 49, Blackacre Road, Dudley
Joseph Potter, Head, 52, Engine Turner, Born in Coseley
Ellen Potter, Wife, 49, Born in Worcester
Lydia Lizzie Potter, Daur, 19, Born in Dudley

I guessed at Blackacre Road - I drive down there when I go to Merry Hill :-)

I'm thinking Ellen was the Nellie in the postcard
