Title: John Gover POWELL - Burton, Somerset
Post by: Tyke B on Tuesday 19 August 08 11:00 BST (UK)

I'm trying to trace the baptism of John Gover Powell who was born circa 1780/2 in Burton, although he married and lived in Bristol most of his life.

I have traced him to the 1841/51 census and have his marriage and death dates but am unable to progress him further.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Alli

The 1851 census states place of birth as Burton, Somerset which I found on the map. That said, it could also be Bruton if there was a description error!!!!
