Dowding/Evans/Powell
« on: Wednesday 16 July 25 10:13 BST (UK) »
Hello All! Recently discovered a branch of my tree that has proven to be a bit of a rubix cube!

The person in question is

Ada Powell born 14th June 1873 in Garndiffaith

I purchased her birth certificate which gave me her mothers MN as “Dowding”

Other Birth’s of this mn
Benjamin Powell 1866
Jane Ann Powell 1868
John Samuel Powell 1869

Ada’s marriage to Joseph Thomas 4 October 1890 states her father was “James Powell” a Miner,

1881 she’s living with John Evans & Ann Evans in Garndiffaith and labelled as “Grandaughter”

1871 Benjamin above listed is living with john & ann also listed grandchild

No marriage traceable for a James Powell and Mary Dowding, and Birth Registrations aren’t existing with Mary Dowding mmn Evans

Anyone else got the brains to work this out?

Yes i have that census, just can’t understand why “Ann evans and John Evans are the children’s Grandparents if mother was a dowding and father was a powell

I’ll check that marriage now, highly possible due to birth of Benjamin Powell Shortly after

Marriages Mar 1841   

DOWDING, Timothy        
GOULDING, Ann        
Pontypool    26   129   

I think this couple are the parents of Mary DOWDING.  In 1851 Mary and her brother Benjamin are with John and Ann EVANS. 

DOWDING, MARY
Mother's maiden surname: GOLDING     
GRO Reference: 1842  J Quarter in PONTYPOOL  Volume 26  Page 136

DOWDING, BENJAMIN
Mother's maiden surname: GOLDING     
GRO Reference: 1844  S Quarter in PONTYPOOL  Volume 26  Page 132

Deaths Jun 1845

DOUDING, Timothy
Pontypool    26   104   

Ann's second marriage?

Marriages Dec 1846

DOWDY,  Ann       
EVANS, John        
Pontypool    26   169
