The Pers ID system used on this site was worked out by Mick Powis.
This is my attempt to explain it...
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.
