I have just been reading an email that my mum's cousin sent to me. She has the birth certificate of William's daughter, Letitia Apparently he is on there as a "Baker Journeyman". She also has Letitia's marriage certificate on which he is also a baker. She is sending me the certificates. On Letitia's birth certificate their address is 6 North Dingle which is in Liverpool.
So maybe the census I have is the wrong one looking at his occupation!!

Letitia Powell was born 1890 register West Derby.  In 1901 she is with her Grandmother Letitia Jones.  There is a marriage of William Powell to Ann Jones in 1889 West Derby register office of registrar attended.  I can`t find her yet on the 1891 census.

Mo
Added can you confirm Ann`s maiden name from Letitias birth.

Ann was Ann Catherine Jones She was deaf and dumb as I think was William although i'm not sure about him
I have the census for Letitia in 1901 but no one seems to able to find her in 1891 Maybe she was with her father?

Thanks mosiefish that must be him! I dont have that census

another piece of information is that:
 the family was eventually split into two, half the children were brought up by their fathers parents in the catholic faith, Letitia stayed with her mother's parents and she was brought up protestant.

Also, some of the children's names she can remember are Kitty, Mary, Louise, William and Owen She thinks there were 7 in total and Letitia was neither the youngest or the eldest
