THOMAS POVEY

Notes for THOMAS POVEY:

an introduction to POVEY genealogy

A few pages by Daryl Povey, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia

The below links will take you to a few summary pages on the main POVEY family groups in

Berkshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire & Australia in my POVEY line.

BRK, Eng 1300-1700 : WIL, Eng 1600-1700 : GLS, Eng 1700-1850 : AUS 1830+

Research indicates that our POVEY family group can be traced from Australia back through the

English counties of Gloucestershire (GLS) and Wiltshire (WIL) to the county of Berkshire

(BRK), near its western border with Wiltshire to the parish of Shrivenham, in the 1500s.

There are POVEY entries on the first page of the Shrivenham Parish Register which commenced

in 1575, although other evidence from wills shows that other POVEY families were living in this

part of Berkshire in the early 1500s.

The earliest POVEY record so far discovered refers to a Reginald POVEY in the Berkshire parish

of Abingdon in the 1300s, which indicates that Berkshire is the earliest known county

containing records of POVEY families.

There is another large POVEY group in the Cheshire area which traces back to the 1400s as well

as early entries in London in the 1500s.

There is a mention in the records of a John POVEY at Barbot Hall, Sheffield in Yorkshire in 1440

indicating he was probably born in the late 1300s.
