Gloucestershire Burial Index c1830-38 for William POWELL

I couldn't see the entry for William's marriage on the very unclear Berkeley BT, nor was it in the Gloucester Marriage Index in either Phillimore or Roe, which are supposed to include the BTs. 

I did find a marriage of Horation Nelson Powell to Susan Jenner in Berkeley in 1826, if that's any consolation to you.  I wonder if the child of the same name who died in 1833 was his son?

The search goes on....

I should probably have mentioned that I was told the 1799 Berkeley marriage for William POWELL was in the Bishop's Transcripts.

If you go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle and search the Berkeley batch M016483 for Powells you will not find a William marriage.  If you select any of those Powells and check the  source call (0417122), you will find that the batch was extracted from the Berkeley BT's - the source call is the LDS film number.

 As there is no submitted William Powell (WP) marriage data in the IGI, then whoever told you that the marriage was in the BT's of 1799 was telling a porkie maybe unknowingly but . . .

Had there ever been WP marriage data in the Berkeley batch which an LDS member considered of their family so had submitted the evidence i.a.w. LDS ordinances, it would have been removed from the batch and would have become a submitted entry:  its absence substantiates my calling it a porkie
