Must be the wromg family ? Aunie Emm posted the 1911

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

I think the card is addressed MR J POTTER

This might be the marriage

St James, Dudley : 1889/500 - Joseph Potter and Ellen Sansome

1911
Married 21 yrs 1child born alive

Can't see them in 1901 but this might be them in 1891

1891 : District Union Workhouse, Sedgley
Joseph Potter, Head, Engineer, Born in Sedgley
Ellen Potter, Wife, 29, Launderess, Born in Dudley

Think this is them in 1901

Blackacre Road is off Dixon's Green

1901 : Dixons Green, Dudley (Indexed as Poller)
Joseph Porter, Head, 41, Engine Fitter, Born in Coseley
Ellen Porter, Wife, 39, Born in Worcester
Lizzie Porter, Daur, 9, Born in Dudley

I was curious as to the family the Walsall Postcard in the gallery was addressed to.
