Family History Beginners Board / Re: POVEY
« on: Friday 06 February 15 12:14 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for your information.  It is basically what I have come to learn too.  I have lots of information about the Fleerfamily if you need any time.  My husband is the son of Leonard George Fleer, who was the son of Edward Charles Fleer.  My husband's paternal Grandmother was Martha Povey (Fleer).  I believe somewhere I have some photos with Rubina but it may take some time to find them.  Do you live in Victoria, Australia?

Cheers,

Thank you so much for this information.   I couldn't find any of that, even with BDM.   Makes a whole lot more sense now.   Many thanks.

Back again.  I have tried finding more out about my Martha Povey, with very little success.

I know she was born 1875, Carlton, vic to Elizabeth Hewitt.  No father is named.   I am wondering why the mother named her Povey, if she didn't want the father on the birth.   Then when she married Edward Charles Fleer, her father was stated as William Howard, but I could find no marriage between Elizabeth Hewitt and William Howard.

I don't know where else to look.  I searched the Victorian births, deaths and marriages, with no luck either.

Help please, mef

Thank you all so much for your help.   I think my mistake was that I read William Howard and assumed the surname should be Povey, Cant assume anything it is so true.   Now I will revisit Martha Povey, and try and work back from there.  Maybe my James and Eliza are even wrong, I need to check further.  ? Am thnking Martha Povey was born to Elizabeth Hewitt, and Elizabeth didnt name the father.  Later the father is stated as William Howard.  I feel something is wrong and need to research this Martha Povey more closely.   If anyone can help I would love your input.  Thanks again, mef

I am desparate, searching for I believe, William Howard Povey, or Howard William Povey.  Married to Elizabeth Hewitt.  I think his parents were James Povey, 1817-1876, and Elizabeth Phillipa Jennings, born 1817.  Further on I have a Martha Povey 1875 - 1923, Who I believe is the daughter of above William, or Howard Povey and Elizabeth Hewitt.

Martha Povey married my husbands Grandfather, Edward Charles Fleer.  Hopefully someone can help me with this.

Lanarkshire / Re: Jane Wilson Scotland?
« on: Sunday 20 March 11 14:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hello and thanks for answering.   My 'note' came from my mother in law, who had had it for years, I was told.   I have done some searching, but this is where I am stuck at, presuming that what I have done is actually right anyway.  My MIL died many years ago so I can't ask her, and she was presumably not even interested in genealogy.

I have attached a chart with names and dates that I have.  Wasnt sure whether or not to put it all on letter or not?  Please feel free to do so if you think others could help as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you,  Mef
