David and Baden Powell - 1901 Census Merthyr Tydfil COMPLETED WITH THANKS
« on: Sunday 16 November 08 11:29 GMT (UK) »
Please can you help  :)
I am looking for the family of David Powell, born in 1896 in Merthyr. I have no other information to help with such a common name, except that he had a brother named Baden Powell that is a bit more unusual. I am hoping that Baden has been born before the 1901 census and that they are listed together in the census with other unknown family members. The only other information I have is that they lived as children in the Clwyd y Fagwr/Swansea Road area and that they were known as the 'Brecon' side of the family which may give a clue to their parents birth place?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

It was worth a try, Margaret but Baden Powell was born 1901

Birth
Baden Powell
Sept ¼ 1901  Merthyr Tydvil  10 a  732

Possible family for David Powell, there were several but this seemed the
most likely.

1901 census
RG13/5023  folio 27  page 30
85, Cludydyfugar ?  Merthyr Tydvil  Glamorgan

John Powell  head  age 44   Coalminer (Hewer)   b  Merthyr
Martha  wife  age 43   
Tom  son  age 21    Coalminer

Hi Meliora  :)
thankyou very much - this may be them as there were lots of other brothers and sisters whose names I need to check out to see if there are any ones that fit.  There doesn't seem to be a Brecon connection here, but that could be another generation back?

You are very kind to help  ;D
