Re-visiting this search. I think I may have found a connection.

On Thomas Henry's Marriage Cert. he states his father is Charles Povey (Deceased). Much searching has been gone into to find Thomas Henry's Birth but it seems the years we need as stated on the 1880 Census have been lost or destroyed.
I now think I have found Thomas H father thus:

First Name Charles
Last Name Povey
Birth Year 1840
Age 11
Birth Place Ireland
Birth Town
Birth County Dublin
Relationship To Head of Household Pauper
Gender Male
Occupation In The School
Street
Parish Brighthelmstone
City
County Sussex
Division Of County Eastern Division
Ecclesiastical District
Enumeration District
Hamlet
House Name
House Number
Parliamentary Borough
Municipal Ward
Registration District Brighton
Category Census, Land & Surveys
Record set 1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Collections from Great Britain, England
Folio 1057
Page 22
Piece Number 1645
Source
Archive Reference HO107

Bearing in mind Charles Povey's birth being Dublin and he being in Brighton Sussex the country connection for this line of Povey is there any way I can research back to Charles Birth in Dublin and how he came to be in "The School" a pauper in Brighton.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

NOTE; Now think this is NOT related to my family of Povey, but subsequent help from members has given me further leads and I am revisiting some old ground using this new information. Thank you all will return to thread once I have sorted all information.
