Hello All,
This comes to wish you a Very Happy New Year for 2014 and good luck in your researching.
I am still researching JOHN POWELL and I should be very pleased to hear from any one
connected to or researching this family
John Powell was born in Hanwood Shropshire 1848. He was my grandfather's brother. He
lived in Shropshire in 1871 and registered the death of his father in 1877. I managed to
find him again in Wales when he married ELLEN PUGH in 1882 on the 23 of Dec.
They were married at Llanfair (is this the Welsh name for Builth Wells?) Ellen was born in
Aberedw
By 1891 they had four children William aged 7 Percy aged 6 Alfred aged 5 John aged 3
Alice aged 1
By 1901 there were four more children Gertrude aged 9 Samuel aged 8 Bertha aged 6
Elizabeth aged 3 JOHN the father was 52 and Ellen had died in the Sept Quarter of 1899.
John died before 1911
By 1911 Percy (a carpenter) Alfred (labouring in brick yard) John (blacksmith) Samuel
(tailor) Alice (housekeeper) Bertha (housekeeper) Elizabeth (at school) Had all moved to
12 Ffrwd Street Godreamnan, Aberdare Glamorganshire.
Gertrude was now a housemaid at Llangre Hall Llandrindod
I have a lot of information of the other members of my grandfather,s family but heard very
little about JOHN or if there are any descendants from any of his family. I should be
very grateful of any help.
Yours sincerely Mary Powell
