Dear all,I have been researching Lewis Powell(b.~1779) in Llangattock(parents Charles/Mary).Lewis married Margaret Jones in Llangattock Breconshire on 12/June/1810.On the 1841W census they live in Cwmcelyn(near Blaina,Monmouthshire)..The family is down as:Lewis b.1781,Margt b.1791,Mary b.~1816,Vison(Vavassor) b.1826,Kesiah b.1826,Margt b.~1827,Thomas b.~1830,John b.~1833,Mary b.~1834.There were 2 Margaret Jones born in Llangattock:1)b.1787 parents Mary and John and 1786 parents Sarah and Armstrong.There is also a death record for Charles Powell in Llangattock b.1739 burial 27 dec,1836..Vavassor Powell(iron miner) married a Mary(b.Llanwrda,Carmarthenshire ~1814) and they lived in Parrott Row,Blaina from 1851-1891.Vavassor died in 1896.Vavassor's children were Dyf(e)rig b.~1853 and Lewis b.~1855.Vavassor had a brother Thomas(iron miner) who we think married Ann Winstone in o/n/d 1851 in Abergavenny reg(nb Blaina was in the Abergavenny reg.).Thomas's children were on the 1881W census living in Parrott Row Blaina..The family is down as :Thomas Powell 50,Ann 41,William 17,Lewis 13,Thos John 11,Mary Ann 9,Rhoda 7.Living next door to Thomas was Vav*(Vavassor) aged 58,Martha Richards(daughter)32,Evan James(stepson and collier)47 and Enoch James 3.Another interesting record is in 1861W in Parrott Row for Vavassor...Vavasor Powell 38,Mary(wife)47,Dyferig 8,Lewis 6,Daniel Richards(stepson)21(iron miner),and 3 other Richards stepchildren:Aaron 18(iron miner),Miriam 16(labourer iron works) and Martha 14(scholar).On the 1871W census are Vavassor 49,Mary 57,Dyfrig17,Lewis 15(all Powell's) and Martha Richards(23),Mary Jane Hobby 5.The parents of Daniel Richards/Aaron Richards/Mary Richards/Martha Richards were Thomas and Sarah...returning to Charles Powell(father of Lewis Powell)I found 2 marriages between Charles Powell and a Mary..1)27 may 1772 in Caldicot(mon) (38 miles from Llangattock)between Charles Powell and Mary Harry..2)8/june/ 1759 in Llanvetherine(13 miles from Llangattock) between charles Powell and Mary Edwards.I also found a baptism on 7/july/1734 for a Charles Powell in Crickhowell(near Llangattock) father Thomas.There are 2 death records for Thomas Powell in LLangattock..1)25 may 1756..2)26/nov/1770...There is a baptism for a Thomas Powell on 23/nov/1717 in Llangattock with father Rees Powell...One last record for now is that Lewis Powell b.~1779 seems to have a brother Charles b.~1777 in Llangattock(parents Charles/Mary).What I am hoping is that someone has any details of Charles/Mary the parents of Lewis(1779) and Charles(1777) and the previous generations..regards to all ivorglyn(ps does anyone know the surname of Mary who married Vavasor and where and when did they marry?
