Title: Pounds of Kintbury
Post by: Gurslad on Tuesday 12 April 05 10:23 BST (UK)
Hi,
I'm looking for the parents of Martha Pounds born 1895 in Kintbury. Martha married Thomas Mills in 1814, the IGI records her name as Pawns. There are no Pawns! listed on the BMD site so I think the name was changed along the way, it was taken as Pawns but maybe Powns which sounds like Pounds. If her name was Pounds then it will make my tree very interesting, it will mean my grandparents were 4th cousins 1 time removed. Has anyone access to the Kintbury Parish Records or know where they are help. So I can solve this mystery.
Regards
Jim.

They had children named Ada, Tom, Alfred Henry (my Grand father born 1887)and Wally.John Kite the father in law from Kintbury lived with them.This Pounds Family may be the same but may be not.My father was Harold Scott Pounds and his brother was called Robert Bruce Pounds.

Hello
There's a baptism at Kintbury
Martha d of William and Elizabeth Pound 15.1.1795
Siblings Elizabeth 4.7.1784-1.8.1784 ,William 13.11.1785,Sarah 22.8.1790,Elizabeth 24.3.1793-7.12.1793,Thomas 5.1.1800

Looked like William Pound and Elizabeth Tinson married 17.1.1784 and she was from Lt Bedwin.
William buried 5.3.1835 age 81
Elizabeth  30.10.1830 age 75

I'm sure if you already have the family in your family tree you can take it from there.
