Hello, Can anyone help???
I am trying to find out some information about Peter Powell 1843b, I think his father was John Powell 1815b. I need to know if I have a connection with children Florence 1871b, Jack 1872b, Joe 1873b, Annie 1887b.
Any help would be appreciated.

Paul - hi :)
This is a bit vague :-\ What connection are you looking for ?
Do you think he might be their father ? Where were they born?
Are you wanting Peter on censuses - if so which?
What do you have already ?
Like to help - but not sure what to look for :-\

thanks for speedy reply,
The children are on my tree, however that is as far as I have got with the POWELL family.
Chester, Cheshire is where they are from, just had some people pointing me towards Peter and John and was hoping they were linked.
I have been informed that John Powell was the Verger at St Johns Church in Chester??
many thanks Paul

Paul - hi ;)
Well...........here is Peter in 1881
1881
RG11 P. 3559 Fol. 73 Pg. 16
15 Herbert Court, St. Oswalds, Chester
POWELL
Peter head M 38 Domestic Gardener
Sarah Wife M 25
Ann Dau 3
Elizabeth Dau 1
all born Chester
The three children you mentioned - Florence, Jack and Joe - should be on the 1881, but I can't see those names and ages born Chester on that census.
It certainly doesn't look as if they were Peter's children; Do you have any idea of who their parents were ? You say they are on your tree............

:D Thanks again for the reply. My grandmother Annie (Anne) Powell b1887 is one of the sibblings of Flo, jack & Joe,. This was as far as I have got on my Grandmothers side, and the information was supplied by my Father.
Annie Powell married my grandfather Harry Clarke b1897 Both from Chester.
Regards
Paul

Paul - I think you're going to have to get Annie and Harry's marriage certificate ??? ::)
That will give you her father's name and occupation, and hopefully her age, and I might then be easier to trace the family.
I can't find a Powell family with children of those names and ages in either the 1881, 1891 or 1901 censuses.
I can't either find birth registrations in Chester district for those names at those years ::) :-\
Unless you have additional information, then I think the marriage certificate will be recessary to progress this line ;)
How certain are you of the names and dates of birth ?
