Hi Linda, glad you are making progress in your searches. I am sorry to tell you I haven't got a clue how to send photo's via e mail, in fact we don't use our e mail facility, so we don't receive junk mail, sorry to be so behind the times!!! Just tried to e mail you but didn't get very far, so have to reply via this site. Is there any way I can send you copies of the photo's, perhaps you have a small local post office that I could send them to for your collection, or do you have any other ideas? I bet anyone reading this will be   ;D

Hi Linda, I've been looking through some photo's today and guess what I found a couple of Rose, plus one which says on the back Rose's baby being held by her sister, so this must be Richard!! Would be glad to send you copies if you would like them, but unsure how to do this safely without you revealing your address  on line, any ideas??

Many thanks for the additional information. I had thought since my last message that they had made an error on the grave inscription putting husband of Annie Harper (formerly Powell), it should have read husband of Annie Powell (formerly Harper) but then I thought perhaps she had remarried a Harper before the memorial stone was put there as it would be some time after his death, so she would then be formerly Powell, but that is wrong as you have found out she married a Frank Killer. No they didnt have long together, thats the tragedy of war and we still have'nt learnt have we??

Thought you would already know what we posted last night, one last thing for now, we found the information we had been searching for for a long time on another free Commonwealth War Graves site last night, and thought it might be of interest to you, Rose's brother George's grave is at Poelcapelle British Cemetery in Belgium, and it showed the inscription as the son of Frank and Winifred Powell, and it looks as if he was married to a Annie Harper from Harlesden, London, which we hadn't realised. We had wondered why his residence was shown as Harlesden, Middlesex on the ancestry site we looked on in the library several years ago, and my maths was wrong about his age, he died in action aged 24 and he was in the 3rd battalion Coldstream Guards, it was quite emotional to see the inscription and pictures of the cemetery, but also nice to see he is commemorated. He is my step great uncle, and must be related to you as he is Rose's brother. Bye for now

Glad to be of a little help. My wife has been doing research for about 6 years and has a problem like yours especially with one member of her Mothers family, being Welsh you can imagine the surname problems, its like looking for a needle in a haystack!! but like you she doesn't give up.  Just had a quick look on the family search site and you probably already know this but thought I'd send it anyway just in case. Hastings Fitzroy Page was born 9/4/1892 Bombay. Christened 3/4/1893 Poona, Bombay. His father was Hastings Montague Page, mother May Mary.
Hastings Montague Page was born 1860 India son of John Page, and he married May Mary Miles born around 1863 India daughter of George Raslyn Miles, they married Poona Bombay 7/1/1891. May Mary died 9/6/1926 buried 10/6/1926 Sewri, Bomba, India. There is quite a bit more on this site of the India connection, but you would know more about who is who!! Good luck - this research never ends does it!!  :)

Hello again Linda, just had a quick look on the free mormon site - family search and saw on the 1930 USA census Hastings F. Page aged 38, Agnes M. Page aged 27, Richard Page aged 3 and a Doris Hobson aged 27 all living in Brooklyn, New York, so he must have been known as Richard. There were lots of Richard Page's but no way of knowing if it is who you are looking for. Frank Powell's parents were Edward Powell born Longdon, Worcs. around 1817 son of Thomas and Ann, he married Clara Ghist (variations of Ghrist, Guist, Grist) born around 1829 West or East Cranmore (it varies) Somerset, daughter of John and Elizabeth Ghist. Edward and Clara married 8/5/1859 at Longdon Parish Church, Worcestershire. Edward died 28/11/1893 aged 76, and sadly Clara who I couldn't find for ages died 24/12/1905 aged 70 at Upton-on-Severn Workhouse, she was there for at least 4 years as I found her on the 1901 census. These were Rose's grandparents. When Frank died in 1908 his 2nd wife Ellen (Bayliss) was expecting a baby who was born 4 months later, so she had 5/6 children to bring up on her own the others would have left by then. The first child Frank and Ellen had after his 1st wife (Rose's mum) Winifred died, they named Winifred and I can remember her. I must admit my wife does most of the research including her own, and has gone back to my 8 x Gt. Grandparents marriage in 1603 at Longdon on the Powell side who at that time had the name of Windowes, marrying into the Powell family in 1782. Feel free to use anything applicable in your family tree. Got to keep plugging away!!   :)

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I don't know about Rose because my family is from the marriage of Frank and Ellen, but I can tell you the following, Frank Powell was a one armed man, I'm told he lost his arm in a threshing machine when working as a farm servant he then became a rural postman at Corse Lawn post office, Eldersfield, Worcestershire. He married Winifred Tracey on 18/8/1883 at The Parish Church, Bishops Cleeve, Gloucestershire. According to the 1891 census she was from Middlesex. They lived at Longdon, Worcestershire, Frank's birthplace, and had 6 children, Mary Elizabeth, Clara Elizabeth, Annie Maria, George Edward he was a Coldstream Guard and died in action on 21/10/1914 at France/Flanders aged 28. Rose Selina Powell born 9/9/1894 and Joseph Henry born 2/10/1896 he died 5/11/1897 aged 13 months. Winifred died 10/6/1897 of Phthisis Pulmonalis exhaustion (Pulmonary TB) at Longdon. Frank remarried Ellen Bayliss on 27/8/1898 and went on to have another 5/6 children. Frank Powell died 1/1/1908, whilst delivering post he fell backwards into a ditch on Eldersfield Marsh and his feet became embedded in the mud, he couldn't get out and died of exhaustion  due to exposure. There was a report in the Tewkesbury Register on 4/1/1908 describing how he was found 4 hours after he was due back at the post office, by a man returning from work. Sorry I can't tell you anymore about Rose, do you know if she had a daughter Joan? If you want to know more about Frank's parents let me know. Good luck. Sorry if you've already had this msg. but this is new to me!!

Just seen your message re. Ellen Bayliss, she was my Grandmother and Frank Powell my Grandfather. Rose is the daughter of Winifred, Franks first wife, they had 6 children including George and Rose. Winifred died and Frank remarried Ellen Bayliss in 1898 and they had another 6 children, one of whom was my mother. Are you related to the Bayliss family?
