Where does the Rev William Powell and son come into this ?

Could the connection not be down the Bruce line ?

Hi Gordon,

RootsChat has a no living person rule so all the current names you have listed would need to be removed as they are hopefully still living.

Have made a note of them and will have a look to see what we can find out.

You do need to go through all the Wayland children and the married Wayland children from the sister Ada's marriage to William. To double check none may have been born illegitimately and taken to the USA to save any family embarrassment.

Delighted the research checked out ok.

Something strange about Ivy Isabel, she might not have been a Caldwell at all  :-\

Wasn't Mary's marital status in the 1901 census "widow"?

Not all census (1901 census 31 March 1901)  are correct. Sometimes women used "widowed" as a marital status even when the husband is living.

That would discount the 1902 death record in Marylebone if he'd already passed away.

Catch 22 - the 1909 marriage may confirm she was widowed but that may not have happened by 31 March 1901 but perhaps by quarter 1 of 1902  :-\ :-\

Sorry Kay Didn't see your reply - apologises.

There are no BMD details for Rev. William John Powell, I'm afraid.

Given that his son was born c1906, a sensible estimate for his birth might be 1875 to 1880.

Possibly in the Monmouthshire area, as above.

This guesstimate of the age of Rev William John Powell is a concern.  If he was a Reverend in 1892 ??

I double checked the Army List for 1900 and there were no chaplains named Powell at that time.

That is a mystery but then also was the statement that on the marriage his father was a "clerk in Holy Orders"  ??  Really strange.
