Fraces Powell

Going around in circles. i thought i had found my correct ancestors, that was until a few weeks ago when I received fresh evidence from Australia. This was put together by my great great grandfather's grand daughter.  My great great  grandparents were George Williams and Mary Ann Powell, i always thought they were married in Clodock, Herefordshire but this was no the case. They married June quarter 1850 in Cradley, Herefordshire.
George Williams was born Crasswell, Herefordshire 1828 and Mary Ann Powell was born 1831 Clodock, Herefordshir The census returns 1861- 1901 show them to be living in Blaenafon Monmouthshire. Mary Ann died 1st July 1901 and George Williams died 1906 he was living at Red House, Blaenafon at the time of his death.
i am trying to find out more information on both George and Mary Ann's parents, the information I have Mary Ann's father was Frances Powell and George's father was William Williams.
Any help much appreciated.
many thanks

If there has already been confusion - it's best to do your own research.   What proof do you have that the Australian research is correct??

Marriages as follows

George Williams 24 Mary Ann Powell 22 - 6.12.1851 - Clodock

Fathers Joseph Williams & Thomas Powell

George Williams   19  Mary Ann Powell 17 1850 Cradley

Fathers Francis Williams & Joseph Powell

So one marriage before the 1851 census & one after.  Look up the 1851 entry & see what matches

1871 has George b Michaelchurch Esley?

English 1851 has a George Williams b Weobley & Mary Ann b Bishops Frome living in Cradley with a 9mth old son William.  Both are aged 22.  GRO online birth reg for William shows mmn Powell

Hi Carole
The information I received from Australia was spot on regarding birth and death dates and it was compiled by George and Mary Ann's grand daughter who was born in Australia in 1895. initially i had gone for the 1851 marriage at Clodock, Herefordshire. The information fro0m Australia also states their son George Williams was born 1852 at Blaenafon which is spot on.

Thanks again

best

Ken

this looks like your Mary Ann already in Llanover in 1851 before her marriage later that year
