Here are two pages printed out from a free family tree program downloaded from a geneaological site around 2002 by the Canadian Powsey contingent living in British Columbia. Much of the information is just from the memories of Tony and Margaret Powsey and Julia and Michael Powsey; there are some blanks filled in by Diane Aujla who visited Canada briefly with her husband Tuch and their daughter Lauren around 2002. These additions have just been penned in for the time being. There are huge blanks as you can see; any information and corrections would be gratefully recieved and this family tree will be updated as soon as possible. If you are putting yours together, hopefully you'll find something of use here. Click on each of the pages to enlarge the image and take a closer look.
You'll notice there is one dead end, quite literally, among the children of Professor and Rose Powsey; that is Hilda Powsey, who died as an infant or small child. The story that has been passed down to the Canadian contingent is that she was accidentally dropped by a nanny and died subsequently. The family was devasted by the loss, and it was this tragedy that precipitated the move up to Southport. This might be true in part because according to his obituary the Powsey's indeed moved up to Southport, but he should have been working at Brighton at that time. Anyone with stories or information on this unfortunate event?
