Hi Elizabeth
I came across your family tree when researching info on the Poad family.
Just to update you –
Margaret Annie Crowl and Edwin Poad moved from Eaglehawk, to the goldfields in Western Australia near Kalgoorlie. From there they took up a land holding near Bunbury , WA .
The only surviving son, Lewis, came with them, a son Leslie was born on the goldfields, and daughter Margaret Lydia Allenby was born in Bunbury WA. She was not adopted.
She is actually my mother in law, still alive and living in Perth. Les died just a few years ago.
Kindest regards,
Jenny

Hi Elizabeth and Jenny- My name is Bill Bilkey and I'm working on my family tree for my Son and Daughter. My Parents had started it a long time ago and stopped. We have Emily Poad born on 6/18/1866 in Cornwall, England as the daughter of Lydia Reynolds (Born 1835) and Alexander Poad (no info). Do you have any information on them and their parents, etc? Not sure how detailed you get, but on our tree Emily Poad married William Warrick and had my Grandmother Winifred Warrick... who married John Bilkey and had my Father Richard Bilkey (first born in US - Detroit, MI) and then it comes to me and my two kids (near Chicago, IL). Thanks for any information you can offer, Bill Bilkey

Looking for information on any of above.

UK Directories is a website of old trade directories. It can be very slow and cumbersome to use but you can often find ancestors with their addresses/occupations. The other bonus is that there will be a contemporary description of each place at the beginning of the list of inhabitants. I tried finding Poads on it yesterday but couldn't get it to move at all. I had better luck today and found Poads in Cornwall and your Benjamin in Bristol as a Furniture Broker in Lewins Mead. This was in the 1850's Slater's Directory of Berkshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
