Can't find birth of Christopher anywhere on BVRI.

Christopher pover is a mystery i know he died as a pauper sailor in a work house aged 78 i believe it was in weymouth

Isn't that sad? When he seemed to have so many children that he died alone, a pauper, in a workhouse!

It makes you wonder, hate to think what my kids have in mind for me lol.
i guess the tree stops at Christopher as im totally stuck now x

It may be that he was only in the workhouse as a patient as they were often used as hospitals.

When searching for Pover which isn't a very common name, most seem to come from Cheshire or Lancashire. Is it just possible Christopher was born there but lived all his known life in Weymouth?

Ozi.

It does seem that some came down to Dorset ( weymouth) It seems that him and Thomas were Coastgaurds ive located which station Thomas was at, he ended up in faversham Kent but as for Christopher he seems the missing puzzle. We know Christopher married Arabella Elizabeth Hardy but at a total loss about Christopher Pover. I believ he was born in Preston
