James Powell of Rowley Regis - Pd will add

Post by mommy_edwards »

Hi, I need help finding my 10 year brick wall - James Powell, supposedly from Rowley Regis. According to census, marriage and death records, James was born about 1820 in Rowley but I have searched and searched the parish registers of the area and immediately beyond. James Powell married Mary Ann Jarvis at St Thomas' Dudley in 1842. Gave his father as William Powell. NT on 1841 census in the area. Mary and James had Rosannah, Mary Ann, Eliza, Ruth, James and George. Any clues gratefully received.

Wow! You lot are good!

I wasn't expecting such a response. I have more information.

On 1871 census, James was living with John Powell, listed as his Uncle. On another census (I forget which, sorry) John Powell is living with a William Powell and Sarah Powell as brother. On another census (1871??), William Powell is possible mis-transcribed as Thomas and has a sister, Mary Powell, living with him.

The marriage of John Powell and Mary Grove gives John's father as William Powell. The marriage of William Powell to Sarah Wakeman gives father as William Powell. It is my belief therefore, that James Powell had a brother WIlliam Powell who had at least 3 children- William, John and Mary. What do you think?

There is another discussion thread relating to William Powell and Sarah Wakeman, which, to my knowledge, has not thrown up any light on the origins of this family. William Powell was a widower when he married Sarah Wakeman.

Interestingly, I had missed the Benjamin Powell as witness. Also, there is a Cradley in the West Midlands but it is on the Worcs/Staffs border not Worcs/Hereford border. That Cradley is near Malvern, I think.

Thanks People and please, please keep helping me cos I am well and truly STUCK.

And,

there is a connection with Gideon Steventon. He married an Eliza Powell. I have no certificate for this marriage....

The connection is as follows:

James Powell's son James Powell was arrested and tried for Larceny with Joseph Steventon. On the census, they are living with a William Powell and a Thomas Siviter, all of these were arrested with James Powell at some point over his long criminal career.
