POWELL - mother's maiden name: CHIVERS - listed Mary as 1876


On the Forest of Dean website

http://www.forest-of-dean.net

parents are Thomas & Caroline

They did have a child named Louisa - who was christened 23 July 1874 and this child was buried at Christchurch 5 May 1876 aged 1 year 10 mos.  residence: Lane End.

Obviously a sad time for the parents and perhaps Mary's baptism was overlooked!!
