This is where we broke through our brick wall and found a previously un-researched Pomery family Pat has the census entry for Richard in London 1851 giving his birth place as Warrington in Devon. Warrington turned out to be Werrington which was transfered to Cornwall in 1968 Annie has seen the Transcriptions and the Werrington BT film for Richard's birth. Chris Pomery and IGI has provided information about earlier family members From the OLPC John Pomery and Elizabeth Evens married 1769 South Petherwin in registers at Werrington ~ Children to John and Elizabeth Pomery Buried 29 Nov 1774 Elizabeth Pomery who may have been a daughter of an earlier marriage 1 Oct 1775 William Pomery 6 Sept 1778 John Pomery 7 Jan 1781 Richard M. 1807 Rotherhithe d Liverpool 1859 22 Feb 1784 Elizabeth Pomery Also in Werrington at that time Baptism on 20 Feb 1780 William, son of George & Elizabeth Pomery baptised by Simon Webber, Curate |

| Notes and Speculations about Our Pomery Tree. nothing found in IGI for John and Elizabeth Pomery and a marriage before 1716 in Launceston or north Cornwall area. Annie wonders if this family connect s to the St Neots family. see Map Lewannick is the next parish to North Hill and Linkinhorn nearby, where stone was quarried . Chris at Pomerology gives the opinion that these families may connect with the family at Trebartha in North Hill which was another place known for its stone;. the stone there built London Bridge. Distance some 5 or so miles and Trebartha in Lezant also adjoins Lewannick where there was a family"the Trebartha POMs" ( family #112) headed by a Roger,who married in nearby Lezant in 1726. Samuel Pomeroy & Mary Hughes married North Hill 5 March 1766. Children Elizabeth Mary Ann & Roger |

| We would be interested to hear from anyone who thinks that any of the Pomerys found here are connected to their tree. We really want to hear from anyone who had Devon Pomeroy connections to Ireland circa 1700 1750. contact annie or go to our guestbook |
| POMERY Family 515 John Pomery and wife in Lewannick . Where they came from is unknown but I suspect this was a yeoman family, possibly with a 3 lives lease .( Yeoman was a social status rather than an occupation. It indicated ownership of land and an income above a certain level) Reasoning: Roger, b 1762, married a Vosper , a Yeoman family who had dealings with Rodd of Trebartha. They would probably have married within their own �class� with yeoman families marrying yeoman families Children of John & Elizabeth Pomery were Elizabeth Pomery b 30 Dec 1716 Thomas Pomery b 30 Jan 1723? married Ann Sanday 4 June 1743 Bodmin Richard Pomery b 23 May 1726 Lewannick on 16 Feb 1750 Married Elizabeth French John Pomery b 5 March 1720 married Mary Clastor Clist in Lewannick 15 May 1745 Children of John Pomery and Elizabeth French were Mary PomeryB 17 March 1754 Richard Pomery B 28 Oct 1756 Married 17 April 1781Werrington Jane Wroath William PomeryB 1 July 1759 married Elizabeth Walters 1781 = TrewenPomery family #3 Catherine Pomery B 22 Jan 1762 Children of John Pomery and Mary Clast/Clist were John Pomery 25 Feb 1746 Married Before 1761 Lewannick to Elizabeth Williams their children Roger Pomery 11 March 1762M 1780 Grace VOSPER born 7 DEC 1765 North Petherwin, Mary Pomery Bapt 19 June 1763 Elizabeth Pomery Bap 3 Dec 1765 was this the Elizabeth Buried Werrington 29 Nov 1774?
