Title: parish church - roley regis 1847
Post by: plonker on Wednesday 06 October 10 14:35 BST (UK)

hi, all
my ggggranddaddy Nicholas Powell got married at a c of e parish church Rowley Regis on 5th April 1847 to Elizabeth Sheldon. Witnessed by John Hickman & Elizabeth Palmer.
My question is which church would this have been? and would any further records be available.?
I already have a copy of marriage cert, but would parish records give me any further info on this family.
I ask because i am trying to trace his father James Powell occupation soldier born Ireland.
