All,
I have just read these posts and registered on this site. My name is Ross Powis and my family come from Hereford. I was born in Australia, but my father came from Hereford and some of his family are still there. I am not sure if I can help at all. The info I have is this;
- my grandfather was James John Powis
- GG was Robert Powis\
- GGG Charles Powis
Regards
Ross Powis
Hi Cousin Ross....and all you other Powis's
Here's a link to an old population of Wellington list from 1905. It lists Robert Powis (farmer and mason) at Aubro House. My father Thomas was born to, I believe, James John (or John James) at Holly Lodge, Westhope, Hereford in the same year. Later, in 1951 (when I was a year old) we moved to Auberrow House, Wellington (same property).
I've also heard that a James Powis (poss mine and Ross's grandfather) ran The Plough Inn at Wellington prior to living at Westhope.
