 Welcome to the section of this website which refers and relates to Wells-next-the-Sea, and the
Powditch family's association with the town over a
period of some 320+ years (c1659-1980).
Here in this sea-port Town lived and grew up generations
of Powditchs, before, in the 1800s onwards, individuals
moved away, to seek work in more far-flung countryside
and countries than their beloved Norfolk.
Although a few families remained in Wells (where the last branch died out in the early 1980s), others moved North,
to Kings Lynn, Derby, Linconshire, some went to West and South Wales, a couple to the Channels Islands, some to
London and its greater area, whilst more than
a couple sought their new lives much further away,
in Australia and India.
Of Wells' history there is much to interest and fascinate
the reader, and I am not going to even try to attempt anything already undertaken by others, although I will, wherever and whenever possible, include links from this page to useful bibliography and websites available elsewhere.
Of those members of the Powditch family (and variants of
their surname) who had their names recorded in Church

Records (baptisms, marriages, burials) during the post-1659 period, together with other records of their names and details of where they lived and worked (Census Returns, Trade Directories, Wills, Letters,
Bible entries) etc, those details will be included with in the following links.
For the moment, I have only included entries from the St. Nicholas' Parish Church
(Wells-next-the-Sea) Parish Registers, for Baptisms, Marriages (and Banns) and Burials,
although I will add the other material mentioned above as soon as I'm able. It is also my intention at
some future time to included a 'master-index' to all Powditch information relating to Wells-next-the-Sea.

Besides the information shown on this website, I do also hold a vast archive of unpublished
Powditch material, so should you require any specific information relating to any particular family member
or branch of the family, please do contact me stating your full name, address, email address, and
the reason for your request for the information.
