Hi Baggsy

Further to Kimbrey's reply the 1851 census does show residing in Reading a James Povey b.1825 Earley
RG number: HO107      Piece: 1692      Folio:  649      Page:  38         

From the 1841 there is  a James & Rebeka Povey at Mobber's Farm, Sonning, Earley
who have a son James b.1821 along with others
 Piece:13 Book/Folio:7/12 Page:19     

How did you arrive at James Pover so to speak, I do have an  interest in the Povey surname

Baggsey

So you are descended from the other Carter/Povey marriage in Reading as opposed to my Grandparents Carter Povey marriage....this could get very confusing  and need to avoid confusing your Hannah Povey with my G G Grandmother Hannah Povey (1826)  both of Reading

and just to further confuse my branch are descended from a John Povey circa 1700 near flipflops John Povey in Hungerford.....

I will PM the 1841/1851 census info to you

Povey researchers may have come across an item about the White Hart, Hungerford on http://www.hungerfordvirtualmuseum.co.uk/ which looks as though 'my' Elizabeth Povey became the landlady on the death of her husband Daniel Heath.
