Birth of Clara Powell, c1869

[nsc]

I am trying to trace the birth details of Clara Powell. According to the censuses, she was born c1869 in Pool Head, Shropshire (where is Pool Head???)

Can anybody help?


Thankyou

Hi
which census gave her birth place as Pool Head, do you have her parents names? Let me know and I will take a look for you. Fromexperience census birth places are not always correct.

Hi Nicky,

It's the 1901 census. She's living at 11 Coole Lane, Baddington, Nantwich, Cheshire, married to Joseph Owen. She's 32 years old, and her place of birth is given as Shrop. Pool head (unluss I've misread it!).


Thanks!

Incidentally, her parents are living nearby at 2 Hack Green. Samuel Powell (72) born in Bagley (?) Shrops, and his wife, Emma (65), born in Wem. Does 'Bagley' make sense?

Any info on these two would also be much appreciated!


Thanks

Hello Neil,
Just seen your request for information about Clara Powell.
Sorry I do not have any information except that she was a sister to my husbands great grandfather, William Powell. So far have not done much research on William's brothers & sisters. Was Clara your ancestor? They were a family of 10 daughters & 3 sons of Samuel Powell & Emma Deakin.
Will be pleased to exchange information.
regards

Hello Poppies,

That's fantastic!!!!

Yes, Clara Powell was my great grandmother on my mother's side.

I'll tell you what I have - but it's not much:

My mum is (Marian) Wendy Owen, born Nantwich, 1932. Her father was Joseph Owen (Baddington, 1900) who married Jane Edge (Nantwich 1894).

Joseph (whom I was very close to)'s parents were Clara Powell and Joseph Owen (both born c1869).

I've then got Clara's parents as Samuel Powell (1828, Hordley, shrops) and Emma (c1836).

Samuel's parents were, I believe,  William and Mary, but I have nothing else.

Yes, it's the same Clara Powell.

Any information we could exchange would be fantastic.

THANKYOU!!

Neil
