While I have been looking into the Australian relations I thought I would check again with the other Pollard siblings. James Pollard and Elizabeth Thrasher had a number of children baptised in the Corfe Castle parish church. The eldest was Sarah who married Peter Williams, a stone layer born in Steynton or Stainton, Pembrokeshire, Wales. They were married by banns in the Corfe Castle parish church December 1826. I have identified four children but have found little of any adult-aged records as marriage or death/burial.
James (bap 1813), William and Elizabeth (bap 1816) were born between Sarah and Joseph of our story and I cannot account for their having reached adulthood. Two others James (1806) and Fanny (1811) died the years they were born.
THE BISHOP'S DAUGHTERS
I believe I will begin the next generation's -the Daughters' grandchildren- in a descendency format: Mary Ann's grandchildren, then Louisa's etc.

Passages
In the Deseret News, Saturday April 16 we learned of Bessey Christensen Puzey's passing. She died in Richfield, Utah. She is the wife of Willard R Puzey whom she married in 1941- June coming would have been 70 years! This alone would make them remarkable and exemplary,if any doubt exists. Along with Willard, Bessey is also survived by their children Byron and Sandy Puzey, Vickie and Bill Lemmon, and Jimmie and Jeannie Puzey; a foster daughter, 19 grandchildren and 51-plus great grandchildren. Internment will be Spring City Cemetery April 18 following services in Richfield.
Willard Reid Puzey, a son of Albert E. Puzey is grandson to Lydia Pollard Puzey. We hold him and his family in high and sympathetic regard.

Collateral Lines
Years ago I had a chance to look at -in my own hands- a funeral notice for George Pollard, brother to Joseph Pollard.
This photographic item was produced in Melbourne Australia if my memory serves. And with that I knew that Joseph had maintained some sort of contact with his family of England. This month, on the 4th I received a note from a descendant of George Pollard who had settled in Australia.
When I looked in my files I found only dates: George Pollard born either 24 or 28 Jun 1824 at Corfe and died 1915. Nothing more. Because the funeral momento had a picture either with others in it or named on it I knew George had a family but I have no record. So it was that I delighted in receiving a note from someone who had chanced upon this blog. And with this contact perhaps we will learn a little of what became of Pollard siblings. (My record, probably based on the LDS Archive records has Joseph with 8 siblings, George the youngest, 5 years younger than Joseph.)
As I learn more about this brother in Australia and perhaps of the others I will bring that information to this site.
I have added a picture sent me by Kaitlyn Emmett. This is not the funeral card. Kaitlyn is the great great granddaughter of George's daughter Elizabeth Ann.
