Having this name connected
by marriage in the mid 1800's in New Zealand (my G G G Aunt Lucy Jane EVANS married
Benjamin Smith PAWSEY), I did a search of the internet. I came across a woman overseas who
was researching this name also and she in turn wrote to a Mr Alec PAWSEY of Norwich,
England. He wrote to me in March of 2000 with the information that I have put on here.
Do you recognise any of the information on this page?
