  1. 1891 73 King William Street, Holy Trinity, Warwickshire.
    1901 91 Brook Street, Coventry, Warwickshire. 
    1911 11 Walsgrave Road Coventry, Warwickshire. I am certain I have found James POWNEY and his daughter Minnie at this address on this Census, But there are some problems with what I have found, firstly James and his first wife were living together on the 1901 Census with daughter Minnie. Rosetta dies in 1903. However on this Census James has a wife and he is down as having been married 15 years. His age is correct, his occupation is correct and his birth place is correct and his daughter Minnie is down correctly as being born in 1890 and born in Coventry. His "new" wife Matilda is aged 47 and born in Coventry and is down as having one child still living on this Census. There is with them, down as a son, a Harold POWNEY aged 13 at school born Coventry, Warwickshire. So did they have this child whilst he was still married to Rosetta and although down as married I have my doubts about this as I can find no marriage for a James POWNEY to a Matilda. Also with the family is a George TANSLEY a widower down as Father a Widower aged 71 a Watch Case Maker born Coventry, Warwickshire, so as he cannot be the father of James POWNEY he must be the father of Matilda but there are no Matilda TANSLEY marriages that tie up, as well as this there is an Arthur HOLCROFT aged 19 and an Amy HOLCROFT aged 22 both born Coventry, Warwickshire down as Stepson and Stepdaughter repectively with the family so Matilda had had more than the one child she said she had and therefore appears to have been married before to a HOLCROFT. I will show on the chart above as I see the situation as present but this might change as I look further into it.
  2. 1862 Berry Walk, Holy Trinity, Coventry, Warwickshire.  (baptism of Nathan and Rosetta)
    1871 10 Berry Walk, Holy Trinity, Warwickshire. 
    1881 10 Berry Street, Holy Trinity, Coventry, Warwickshire.
    1891 73 King William Street, Holy Trinity, Warwickshire. 
    1901 91 Brook Street, Coventry, Warwickshire. 
  3. 1863 Spon Street, Coventry, Warwickshire (at baptism) Father George a Watch Maker and Mary Ann
    1891 5 Spring Terrace, New Brook Street, Coventry Warwickshire.
    1901 82 Cox Street, Coventry, Warwickshire Arthur HOLCROFT is down as Grandson with George TANSLEY. This ties up with 1911 and proves that George TANSELY is the Father of Matilda as shown on the 1911 Census BUT Matilda is down as Matilda WARD not HOLCROFT on this Census and down as married. Full details (everyone born Coventry, warwickshire. George TANSLEY Head a Widower aged 61 a Silver watch Case Maker, Matilda WARD daughter maried aged 37 a Dressmaker own account, Percy TANSLEY son aged 20 a Printer (machinist), Ernest son aged 20 a Bowden Brake maker, Arthur HOLCROFT aged 9 and finally a Harold WARD aged 3.

    1911 11 Walsgrave Road Coventry, Warwickshire. 
    There are two marriages for an Arthur J HOLCROFT in Coventry, could be the same person twice or could be two different people so have not added details.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
