The address on the marriage certificate was: 7, Morna Road, London SE5.

Thanks for your interest.

I have some new information that seems to have solved the puzzle.

William Powell was the Methodist Minister at Chepstow, Monmouthshire in 1892 (from Findmypast).

Hi Gordon, so pleased you appear to have solved the puzzle. Would you kindly explain to an old man how this has been solved. Could you supply the link for the 1892 ref you have from FindMyPast.

A friend did it for me. They said:

"Open search go to Churches and there are 37 results for William John Powell"

I can see six ministers, two vicars and one curate named William Powell in the 1891 census (none of them in Chepstow).

Again so pleased for you. So that means you now know when and where William John Powell was born who his parents are, whom he married and where his son William James Powell as born. Please do tell us, I'm sure many other rootschatters would love to know.
