Sir Henry Pottinger
It's great to meet you. It is so excited you have researched your Pottinger Family for 30 years and you might have or access to first-hand materials on the topic. Hopefully your research can verify and enrich the article, especially the article is far from complete. So are many other Pottingers.
The middle name is from a post in the talk page
Talk:Governor_of_Hong_Kong dated 4th January, 2005. It stated the data was extracted from
www.worldstatesmen.org. The editor is BMC77@hotmail.com.
There is another edit suggested that it is Henry Eldred Pottinger. (
User:OldakQuill in 30th June 2004)
It is not unusual a person with middle name honouring an ancestor or a relative in some families, including those royal or aristocratic. Middle name however could be unmentioned. There is some uncertainty on the issue.
The picture was uploaded as an image found in german wikipedia. The bot picked it up and was about to delete it. I changed the license to the actual author
Francis Grant who painted it, and should be alright. If the bot returns let me know.
