You might also want to say what info you are looking for ...

for

births 1911-1930
surname Povey
mother's surname Wilkins

If you search trees here at GR you will find that one person who has numerous 19th century Poveys of Croydon in his/her tree is Crougar, an active member here -- currently called

(¯`*•.¸Crougar's a Crocus`*•.¸_)

or is it

(¯`*•.¸Crougar the Snowdrop`*•.¸_)
