John James Owen Baptist Minister of Sparkbrook near Birmingham
is mentioned in property deeds at Powys Archives B/D/JPO/17/1-14.
The deeds concern houses in the town of Brecon and the catalogue

of Monmouth, and three of his sons John David (born 24 Nov 1835),
James Montgomery (born 26 Feb 1840) and Charles Carey (born 31 May
1844). The wife Sarah died on 19 March 1866 and was buried at
Leicester cemetery. The last entry is dated 17 July 1867 when the
property was sold by John James Owen.
