*Arc tbc* ---William Powell--mommy edwards

[Northern Lass]

Can we find this family on later and earlier census pls
he may be down as a Thomas with a sister Mary on 1871....not sure


1861. Garratts Lane, Rowley Regis
William Powell, head, 30, Coal Miner
Sarah, wife, 29, Bromsgrove
John, brother, 28, Coal Miner,
Mary Grove, boarder, 27, Colliery Lab,
Mary Ann, Powell, daur, 4,
Henry, son, 2,
Mary, neice, 9
All others born Rowley Regis

............ 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.

Ok can someone look on the beta site pls and see if this marriage is on

WILLIAM POWELL
Marriages:
Spouse: HARRIET WALKER Family
Marriage: 25 JAN 1852 Saint Peter Dale End, Birmingham, Warwick, Extracted



I think we have a bapt for Wm John and Ann
and I think the parents on that 1841 and 1851 are our Wms parents

I think he then marries in that area a Harriet Walker

this may link to the Selina Walker who marries James Siviter

parents Wm and Mary

I think this is Wms family.....on 1841 and 1851 his and Johns ages need inverting

[Northern Lass]

I have connected up James Powell as brother to William Powell snr based on 1871 census
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =165174734

he is Uncle to John b 1833 on 1871
and we know that William b 1831 is bro to JOhn
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =937508579

so as mommy edwards says Wm and JOhn nephews to James

but that age gap is quite big for Wm snr and James 1820ish

[Northern Lass]

not sure we can do more with this lot until we get more info from certifs..

so unless anyone wants to add anymore or run with any more flagging to archive
