I've had a chance to check the info.

Yes we are looking at the same family.

I had mis-read George and Susanna's m cert - it is 1843.

My G grand parents were Harriet nee Powlesland and William Curtis

My grandmother [ellen curtis] was brought up by her aunt Elizabeth nee Powlesland and John Cooper in Sticklepath - [I have photos of them]

Samuel Powlesland married Elizabeth, and I new their daughter Nellie who married Albert Bowden - they also lived in Sticklepath.

Their son Norman Bowden is still alive and I am in touch with him.

I also remeber Nellie Harris who also lived in Sticklpath, but do not know exactly where she fits in, other than that she was a cousin of my grandmother.

With regard to my own family - William Curtis and Harriet nee Powlesland had five children - who were all born at Black Torrington.
William Curtis was a coachman for the local doctorbut died aged 38. On his death the family was dispersed.

The children were:-

Mary Matilda Curtis b1873  d 1933
Richard Curtis b 1874
Clara Anne Curtis b 1875 d 1938
Ellen Curtis b 1883   d. 1957
John Curtis b 1885  d 1965

On William's death, Harriet and the eldest child Mary went to Exeter to live with Harriet's elder sister Mary [who was married to..... Hutchins.
RIchard and Clara went to Bideford to live with Luxtons
Ellen and John went to Sticklpath to live with harriets younger sister Elizabeth [and John] Cooper.

I do have further info. if you are interested.

Hi David, yes it is definately the same family, i do have some of the above information you mention in your last message.

I'd be very grateful for any other information you have, do you have any certificates for this family,  i have some in my folders, not sure what i have.

Are you related to Shelagh ?, im in touch with her on another site, and she said that her brother was doing the family tree and she has gave nearly the same info as you, and she said that her brother is in touch with Samuels Grandson.

Come tomorrow i can look through my info and see what i have exactly.

Hi David, in your last message you say that when William Curtis died his family were dispersed, you say that Harriet (wife) and the eldest daughter Mary went to live with Harriets elder sister Mary Hutchins.

I have Mary as being married to George lethbridge, they married in 1872,and have them on the 1901 census, i cant find a Mary Powlesland being married to a Hutchins.
Do you know his first name (Hutchins), where and when he was born. Do you know when Mary married him, im wondering if George Lethbridge was a first husband and this Hutchins was her 2nd marraige ?  Any idea's  !!

Do you know when and where William Curtis was born and when he died.
