Thanks again, Julie. I have put in a request for a loookup on the 1861
census as you suggested.
Also found Newtown on Multimap using POWYS. I now have a map on my wall
that includes all "known" locations for my Edwards and Lownds in the UK
(from Macclesfield, Cheshire to Newtown, MGY). They are not all that
far apart, tho in the 1800's 10 or 15 miles was a ways to go. Do you
know if coal mining was done in England? If so, which part of England?
Thanks again and God bless,
Kelli
