Is this them in 1891?
John Powell    37
Martha Powell    36
Hannah Powell    15
David Powell    13
Elizabeth Powell    11
Charlotte Powell    8
Thomas Powell    6
Blodwen Powell    10/12

John is born c 1854 Blaenavon, Monmouthshire

Do you have a Childs Birth Cert to establish Marthas maiden name?

David 1878 is born in Beaufort, Breconshire

This is them in 1881;
John Powell    27
Martha Powell    26
Hannah Powell    6
David J. Powell    3
Elizebeth E. Powell 1

Marriage therefore should be between 1883-1885
Unfortunately there are several possibilities so you need a Childs Birth Cert :)
