Mary Ann Powell

[Pennines]

Hello Jesse -- I am so pleased that you started a fresh topic for Mary Ann Powell - to take HER ancestors (and yours of course) backwards.

I see you have already obtained HER parents' names and their marriage -- so now you are up to finding the parents of David Powell and Susannah Loveridge.

It may confuse things (and you) - if you bring Reuben back into this thread.

As Ladyhawk has said -- for anyone interested, there is a separate topic for Reuben Jones (who married Mary Ann Powell).

I came to a grinding halt on that one I'm afraid - but if anyone else wants to have a go - see the link kindly provided by Ladyhawk.

Mabel -- Please forgive me, but Jesse is trying to track Mary Ann Powell backwards prior to her marriage to Reuben Jones.

No problem - I've posted 1851 which I hope helps. May have misunderstood the message which seemed to suggest she was looking for Mary's husband's name, bu I take it she has that.

From census Susanna Powell’s  pob Cradley Herefordshire and on the 1851 census her mother Ann Loveridge is with the family so this looks as if it might be her baptism

Susannah Loveridge
Baptism 22 Apr 1810 Cradley

Thank Ladyhawk, it gets harder the further you try to go back, I know where all the places are that you mention and It is forming a map on their movements, thank you for all your information, there must be some information on there Baptisim somewhere,  jesse123

I cannot find a baptism for David Powell in Herefordshire either at approximately the correct time. I have used 1800 plus or minus 5 years and even checked Non-Conformist baptisms.

I am wondering if a batch of parish registers is missing, or water damaged perhaps. On each census he gives Herefordshire as his birth county - the place name differing only the once from Stoke Lacy to Bishops Frome.

Jesse - we have another mystery I'm afraid -- but at least you now have the names of Mary Ann Powell's parents, so you have gone back another step.

Pennines thank you for your input, as you say it is hard to get all the facts, but if we are doing a step at a time at least we have got something, thank you for your time, I will keep looking. jesse123
