Adopted by Charles Alfred Povey and Jane Povey (nee Ruff) in about 1907, released from West Ham Union Guardians of the Poor supervision on 3rd September 1909. Thomas never knew who his father was until after his father's death, but his aunt (sister of his natural father) Constance Caldwell Bloomfiled kept an eye on him all her life, unbeknown to him. Proof that Mary Louisa Graham was his mother is provided by a DNA match between Richard Thomas Povey and Helena O'Neill (nee Canavan) showing that there is a very high probability of them being 2nd or 3rd Cousins. They are 2nd Cousins.
