Subject: Re: POVAH'S OF WREXHAM OR WHEREVER

Hello Danny Like you Ihave had a lot of trouble finding my Povah ancestors. Mine might have come from Cheshire or Wales, but the ones I have are from the Manchester & Salford area. My grndfth John Thomas,his father called Robert, then his father,Thomas and once again Thomas so having a lot named the same it is not easy. I have come up against a brick wall as I have to go to parish records and it's not easy from here.I have had three diferent ways of spelling,Pover on my grndfth's b.cert. Porah on the 1901 census and Poyah on his grave in France as he died ww1 I have been told the name the name might be around the Polish area. My mother said that there was some french in us? If you come across anyone else looking for Povah please let me know thank you Ann
