Henry Wilson Powlson

[scouse_mouse_2000uk]

Hi, I have just found a branch of my Powlson family in Llandrillo Yn Rhos. If any of these names ring a bell, I would love to hear from you.....
Henry Wilson Powlson born 1856, Manchester and died 1834 Conway. His wife was Sarah Arrabella Wise.
Clara Powlson born 1860, Manchester and died 1939 Aled
Charlotte E Powlson born 1870 Manchester and died 1947 Aled
Sidney Powlson 1865 Manchester and died 1941 Aled
    If anyone could help with a possible place of burial, that would also come in handy. I can't find any marriages for Clara and Charlotte, plus the death's were in Powlson. Thanx for reading, Lynn

As both deaths were in their birth surnames - it's unlikely they married

Hi Mousy!

Have you seen this:

http://www.powlsons.co.uk/ - I suspect that they are decendants of the salford Powlsons c1803, a group of whom decamped to wales!

Hi Fox, first of all, I am so sorry for the delayed reply. I have been so busy of late with the family. I am getting back on track now and going through all my back logged mail. Thank you so much for the links, I am about to now pass them on to another two family members. We will of course follow these links up. Regards, Mousy lol x

Hello Mouse !

Have only just seen your April enquiry so anything I write may already be in your hands.
I do not belong to the Powlson family but a couple of years ago I did some research for my late brother who was given an apprenticeship in the late 1940s by the then proprietor Charles Jones.  We lived in Erw Wen Road where the small printing works was located. After Charles died the business later was taken over by a London company but the Powlson name lives on.
The locations of Conway and Aled which you refer to were in fact the BMD Registration Districts for Colwyn Bay which was in the parish of Llandrillo yn Rhos.
Re. burials - the main cemeteries were the municipal one at Bronynant and the churchyard at Llandrillo. These are at opposite ends of Dinerth Road which you could find on Streetmap.com or similar. Colwyn Bay now comes under Conway County Council so  Google them to check the whereabouts of the burial register for Bronynant but the church register may still be at the church unless it was filled up and passed to the County Archives at Ruthin.
Death, funeral notices etc would be in the North Wales Weekly News available at Ruthin or Colwyn Bay Library as the Powlsons were a prominent local family. Would like to help but I am too far away !
I assume you may already have the census for HWP from 1861 to 1901, if not let me know and I will send. I can also send pages from 1889 up to 1936 from Trade directories listing and advertising Powlsons who were at several locations in CBay before finally settling in Erw Wen Road. One of them lists Arabella as a Music Teacher. 

 Kind regards
 Stan

Hi Stan, would like to thank you for your reply. It will be of use to us that are researching the Powlson's. I have kept the info for future reference. I can't do much at the minute, looking after my grand daughter for the school holidays.
