edited: I don't know who the daughter buried with them really is. see other posts.
------
I don't see them in 1920 or 1930 just yet, but they are probably in the area. Try looking for 1st names only, or some other method.

--------
probably Lydia in 1885:
a servant in Providence RI, Ward 7, single, housekeeper.

The lists for this census are arranged by name, not address, so I don't know who she was working for. There were 3 in the household.

I found that at ancestry.com,but if familysearch has the 1885 RI census, you should be able to find her for yourself there.

I'm trying to find this family on the censuses thomas powell born 1824 England
                                                                 Mary               born 1824 England
                                                                 Lydia  1864 England
                                                                 Herbert 1874 England
                                                                 Jessie    1881 England

Was Mary actually 57 years old when her daughter Jessie was born? or 50 when Herbert was born? Do you have the right ages for Mary and Thomas? what was the source?

Their passenger manifest said Thomas and Mary were 60  in 1884.
The manifest also said all of them were headed to Rhode Island. They were born in Cheltenham, I think, if that is a place.

I think I found the family in England and the 1851 through 1881 censuses all give a birth year of about 1820 or so for both Thomas and Mary. so .... I don't know.
Lydia Rebecca Powell was baptized Mar 7, 1869, in Hawling, Gloucestershire, for reference. Her mother was 50 on the 1871 census. Her father was 51.

In 1881 the parents are 60 and 61 with a 6 year old Herbert in the household.

The couple had a lot more children, evidently only a few came to the US, at least in 1884.

I wonder if the younger "children" were children of an older daughter or son. Someone would have to go through the Powell births in Gloucestershire to figure it out.

 no sign of Jessie or Herbert in the US yet.

Is Jessie the adopted daughter Jessie Smith in Peleg & Lydia's household in 1900? But the birth places don't line up.
Is she J Jessimine Brown, born 1883 in England, who is with them in 1910?
In 1910, Peleg says he has only been married once.
