My connection to the Podbury name starts in Aylsebeare in Devon with the birth of a boy around 1783. He married Mary of Bowde around 1807 and they were living in Harpford in 1831 when their son James was born.

James Podbury was an agricultural labourer in and around Harpford. He married Elizabeth Harding of Sidbury around 1852 and they lived in that area until his death in 1857.
