    Sorry erniepar, I have searched everywhere I can think of for information on the 3 in your post #9. What I have posted in post #10 is all that I have been able to come up with.

    Sorry I have been of little help.

    Maybe THIS thread may be of use to you. (just click on the blue THIS and it will take you there.)

    Hi Ernie,
    Are you still researching Powlesland in South Australia? My ancestor was also connected with SAR, where Geo. Thomas P. worked. Recent information on that Powlesland family is available.

    I hope this post is helpful. McGene

    Many thanks. I've just returned to this after a gap so your reply was very timely! The names mentioned are all SA based but I have no idea if they directly connect to George Th. P. All I know of any descendants of his is there was a daughter Edith Margaret P. born 1907. Hope we may be able to help each other.

    Follow up to earlier reply. I believe Geo. Th P. had another daughter Nancy Aileen b. 1911 but am not sure now where I got that from in 2013- possibly an obituary.

    Good Morning

    I can confirm that the J.P.O. McGuire in your tree is a brother of my late gf. A direct descendant of the late J.P.O. McGuire and his P. bride will contact you in due course.

    Pleased to have helped you.

    Yes, just spoke to someone in S.A. who knew Aunty Marg. aka Edith Margaret P. born 1907. There is apparently an extensive amount of research re the P. family from Devon. Are you able to post an email address make contact with a niece of Edith Margaret P?
