Good morning!
After getting such great response to to my Powell query, I have two
questions -- prompted by the census entry that Barb found. I've
pasted the census info, below. First, am I correct that the Where
Born entry refers to Elizabeth, and not to her husband?
The second is: does anyone have any recommendations on how to find
a birth and/or baptism
record from the 1820's -- particularly since I'm across the ocean and
can't personally look through record books? (Elizabeth's maiden name
was Powell; her father's name was William Powell.) If she was indeed
born Llanelly, Breconshire, where would be the place to contact for
help?
Thanks very much!
