William Powis [P487]
b. 5 Jun 1843 - d. 26 Feb 1927

William married Esther Mustoe [P487S] 16 Sep 1865
Esther takes her husbands number with an added S for Spouse
Esther was married before to Samuel Bedwell whose number would be P487SS {1st Spouse of Spouse}

Esther Powis [P487S] died 30 Jan 1892

William married again on 29 Aug 1896
This time to Eliza Smith who gets the number P487S2 {S2 for 2nd Spouse}

This works the same for female and male Powises.
The only time it's different is when two Powises marry as in the following case

Robert Powis [P645X]
b. abt 1840 - d. Dec qtr 1914

Robert married Sarah Powis [P646X] Sep qtr 1862
Sarah Powis b. Sep qtr 1840 - d. Mar qtr 1912
Both Robert & Sarah have their own Pers IDs as both were born with the surname Powis.
So in this case we add an X to both numbers.

                  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the time of writing there are different kinds of Pers IDs on this site such as DB1, TW7, SM14, VH33 etc. etc. The letters are the initials of the people who are researching that particular line, however, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the system in this way, not least because of having to change numbers from P??? to LK??? for example, when a new contact claims a line. I have therefore decided to change all numbers to P???.
This will obviously take a while, and so as not to confuse everyone, including myself, there will be no update [excluding corrections] to the database entries until I'm done, at which time all the tables will be updated with the new numbers in one go.
