Hi,
I have some info on Geoge Powlesland - although some of it is confusing

He married Susanna Marks of South Tawton in 4th July 1849

I think that they had 4 children:-

Harriet [my great grandmother] b 2nd April 1849
Mary, Elizabeth and Samuel

The 1861 census shows a Mary Ann [aged 11], Harriet [aged 8] and elizabeth [aged 6] living with William and Mary Powlesland in South Tawton - no sign of George !

Do you know any more ?

Hi David, i have plenty more information on the Powlesland family.
George and Susanna had 13 children.
One of their children was :
Eliza Powlesland born 5/10/1850, she was my G G Nan and she married George Gillard.
The marraige details i have for George and Susanna are: they were married in South tawton 4/7/1843....me and another contact have their marraige certificate. You say they married in 1849 ?

There were a couple of George and Susanna Powlesland families, do you have Harriets Birth cert. If you do have any certificates for anything for this family it will help us make sure that we are tracing the same family.
My computer time is limited today (kids and hubby) my time is during the week and during the day.
Tomorrow i can let you know what i have on them.

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi again, i think the 1861 census info you gave in your message is a different family. The birth years are slightly different to the birth years i have.
I think i have also come across this family before, i'll check and see.

Hi David, i've begged for computer time, here's what info i have.

George Powlesland was Baptised on 6/8/1820. His parents were Thomas Powlesland c1774 South Tawton and Elizabeth Jackman c1775 Devon.

George married Susanna Marks on 4/7/1843 In South Tawton. Susanna was born c1823 South Tawton, her father was  William Marks.

George Powlesland died 27/3/1896 in South Tawton.

The children that i have for George and Susanna are :

William  c1844  South Tawton

Mary  c1845  S.Tawton. She married George Lethbridge in 1872.

Harriet  c1849  S.Tawton. She married William Curtis in 1873.

Eliza  5/10/1850  S.Tawton. She married George Gillard
on 29/10/1869.

Jane  8/8/1852  S.Tawton.

George  c1855  S.Tawton.

Samuel  c1857  S.Tawton. He married Eliza Cooper in 1884.

James  c1859  S.Tawton. He married Ellen Wonnacott in 1879.

Elizabeth  c1860  S.Tawton. She married John Cooper in 1886.

Thomas  c1862  S.Tawton.

Ellen  c1864  S.Tawton.

Ann  10/2/1866  S.Tawton.

The 13th child was another Harriet, she died at the age of 2, don't know when she was born, got this info from my contact Dawn. If i remember rightly Dawn said she was born before Harriet c1849.

I have families for the above that were married.


Does this look like your family ?
What other info do you have on this family?


Hope to hear from you soon

Hi David, just found the 1861 census that you were on about, they are not the same family, this William might turn out to be a brother to George.
On the 1881 census, if you look at the census page you will see that William lives a couple of doors away from George, they're living in Addiscott.

This is why i wanted to know if anybody had access to the 1831 census, to see if they were together as brothers.
