I wonder who this William Powell is?

Do you know Jane's maiden name Annie?

Hi Mallosa

Yes Jane's maiden name was Dunwoody, can't find any Powells in my Tree. Sophia was not with Jane and her son John on the 1901, so I wonder where she is .

Thank you for taking the time trying to find Sophia.

Hi Jimmy

Thank you so much for finding Sophia it looks like her so will check it out, I have spent ages to day on FreeBMD trying to find Sophia marriage or death and also on the census.

Thank you for your time.

Annie

Yes, nice one Jimmy! I can't find her in 1901 yet Annie, but.......our super sleuth is on now and I bet she'll find her


No pressure, Farside !

Hi Mallosa

I'm glad there is super sleuth on here , I'm trying to find her married to William Wellings now but think my eye's are getting tired so will pack it in till tomorrow after my visitors have been and gone .

I must try and remember to look on West Midlands BMD when I want a BMD.

Annie

If you need the marriage looked up then do add to the thread of look ups at Sandwell/Smethwick

Not having much luck with Sophia, thought she maybe living with one of the sibs

did find sis Elizabeth
