Subject: RE: Powell
Thanks for your interest.& greetings from Australia My g grandmother was
Mary Ann Powell of Trevethin, daughter of John, who married John Lewis, the
stonemason of Lanover estate. My father was the son of their daughter,
Amelia Mary who married in 1905. He migrated to Australia in 1929. He died
20 years ago, leaving no family history and I am really keen to gather as
much information about our Welsh ancestry as possible to pass on to my son.
Mary ann is a real puzzle as 5 Mary Ann's married John Lewis in this region
of Trevethin within an 18 month period. They are on both the 81 and 91
Census. Do you have any information on Trevethin so that we can get a feel
for the place where they married. How extensive is the Powell family and
where did they originate? I saw a picture of John Powell the lockman at
Abercarn at he turn of the century - ? any info will be of asssistance as
nothing is known of part of family
thanks & Appreciative of any help...Pat
