John Powell mentioned in the 1901 of this link was known as John Penn son of George and Jane Penn in 1881 and 1891 census in the Forest of Dean.
He used the name John Powell when he married Sarah Preest in 1892. 
I cannot locate a birth record for him, but he was baptised in 1879 as Thomas John Powell Penn, parents George and Jane Penn. He was baptised at the same time as his brother William Penn.
From the census details I guess John was born c1875 as his age was given as 6yrs in 1881.
John and Sarah Powell are my Great Grandparents.

Hi All,

Sorry to re-visit this post so late however I am researching John Powell (Penn Powell) and finding more questions than answers.

John Powell was my G G Grandfather and I am trying to trace a birth record however no joy.

I can see from previous posts he was Baptised as Thomas John Powell Penn but I can not find any records to link him to John Powell.

Would really appreciate any help from anyone who knows the story here.

Many Thanks

Mat

Hello Mat

Can you tell me who your great grandfather/grandmother Powell was please.....

Tried to send you a PM but you need three posts to communicate that way (you have one)

I haven't got the birth cert but a possibility could be....
John Thomas Powell born Dec qtr Gloucester R.D 1875
