Record Office Lookup Request
« on: Monday 02 September 13 07:02 BST (UK) »
I was wondering if anyone was heading to the Record Office next week who might be willing to do a quick lookup for me?

My 4x gt grandfather 'William Powell' was bapt 1846 in Kings Pyon, and I know from his children's baptisms that he was married to 'Ann'.
However, from what I can find online, there doesn't seem to be a marriage in Kings Pyon.
What I have found are two possible marriages, but to determine which (if any) is correct, I need to know whether the register mentions William being from Kings Pyon. The two marriages are:

William Powles / Anne Piercehall - Leominster - 24 Apr 1783
or
William Powel / Ann Morgan - St Peter Hereford - 6 Mar 1780

Thank you so much to anyone who can help me  :D

Hi Sam

Your dates don't match, you say William was baptised 1846 but you want marriages from 1780 and 1783 checked.

Can you list the children you know about and their baptism dates and places?

So sorry. Now I feel really stupid. Should have said baptized 6 May 1746 in Kings Pyon  :P

The children I know of are:

Mary bap. 30 May 1784 Kings Pyon
Sarah bap. 23 Nov 1786 Kings Pyon
William bap. 30 Mar 1788 (my 3x gt grandfather) Kings Pyon
John bap. 3 Jan 1794 Kings Pyon
Joseph bap. 24 Feb 1799 Kings Pyon

Don't silly, typos creep in all the time.

Hope someone who can help comes along soon for you.
