Bit confused now by this 1939 register because according to records William ( Henry ) Povey 1916 died 1917 and only the other William ( yes I know why name them both William !!) survived.

Emma Report 15 Aug 2017 20:19

Gosport Hampshire ooooh I wonder why he's not showing up on that register from 1939 tho - thx

Emma

Emma Report 15 Aug 2017 20:20

I can't think why I always had it as a death 1917 then maybe because I saw the other William born 1919 by mother Birks - I just assume William Henry died because why on earth would you have two kids named the same unless it was just out of respect for the uncle that died in the First World War - William Henry Povey 1896.
