I am still searching for information re my Powell/Rees and Evans/Jones family.
George Powell, son of James Powell and Henrietta WICKS, was residing at 1 Glamorgan
Street, Brynmawr,
Breconshire, in 1881, with his wife, Annie REES, and brother Arthur Powell, in addition to
his mother,
Henrietta, and her father, John WICKS. The family had a grocery/bakery at that location.
George and Annie's children were Annie Winifred, G. Herbert, Walter, Daniel, and
Lily. I understand G.
Herbert and Daniel had a bakery in Lanelli in the 1920s. G. Herbert's wife's name
was Mabel, and Dan's
wife's name was Fanny.
Annie Winifred POWELL married Benjamin EVANS, son of Thomas Evans and Jemima JONES. In
1891, Thomas was a
widower, residing in Rhymney with his children Margaret, Benjamin, David J. and Rebecca J.
Evans, in addition
to Margaret's husband, George DUGGAN.
Walter POWELL emigrated to the United States and subsequently British Columbia, Canada,
where he raised his
family.
Annie Winifred and Benjamin Evans emigrated to the United States in the mid-1920s and
settled in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Benjamin died in 1927, and the family subsequently moved to
and settled in New
Jersey. Their children were George, Howard, Anne W., and L. Muriel Evans.
I am searching for more information on these families. If anyone can help, I sure would
appreciate it.
