Five Children shown on 1881 Census - aged 14 to 27.

Notes for JAMES POWELL:

[Powell-James.FTW]

 

Father of George Edward Powell

 

BIRTH: date estimated from 1881 & 1891 Census- Llangwm -age 65/75 (b. 1816),  Birthplace is i n question.

        - Birthplace listed in 1881 Census (Llangwm) was noted as Llandenny; 1891 Census reco rds lists birthplace as Gwehelog, a locality near Llandenny.  Birthplace also listed as Usk i n 1861 Census and Llandenny in 1971 Census

 

CHRISTENING/BAPT: Baptism found in IGI search (1999) in the Bishops Transcripts for Usk, Monm outhshire           -  IGI lists christening date as 23 Jul. 1815 based on  source informatio n from Bishops Transcripts of the Usk Parish, Monmouthshre (Source Call # 0104921, Printout C all # 0883650)

 

         !!HOWEVER!! Two OTHER IGI records were also found for this same? James son of Mary a nd John Powell in Usk, Monmouth (1815) with conflicting information.  They are as follows:

      1. A record taken from the records of the Logan Temple (LDS) (sealings for the dead?) ( Film # 538218) where James' christening is recorded as 23 FEB 1815 (not 23 Jul) - father-Joh n Powell, mother-Mrs. Mary Powell

      2.  Another record taken from the records of the Manti temple (LDS) (endowments?) (Fil m # 538009, pg 149, Ref # 3060) where James' BIRTH (not Christening ) is recorded as 23 FEB 1 815 (not Jul) - father-John Powell, mother-Mary.

           There appears to be a mixup regarding months of Feb (2) and Jul (7) either in th e Temple records or in the Transcripts or the printout transcription.

Wife predeceased him.  In the 1891 census he is listed as a widower.

 

OCCUPATION - Farmer - 200 acres - employing 4 laborers (1881 Census). This appears to be a l arge farm compared to others in the area

           - Occupation appears to have been a farmer during most of his life at least from 1 841 (marriage) to 1891.

           - in 1891 he was a farmer with 2 farm servants (George Bess and Thomas James)

 

RESIDENCE:  recorded as Balia in 1843 (first daugh. bapt record).

1891 Census shows daughter Emily Jenkins (37) and Son Sidney (32) living with him along wit h Emily's daughter, Jessie M Jensen (2) and two Farm Servants; George Bess and Thomas James.

 

BURIAL: Oct 23, 1893 - Llangwm, Monmouthshire - age 78 yrs.  Burial record found trhough rese arch by Barbara Williams - Ty Llwydd farm, Llansoy, Mon. in Oct/Nov 1999.

 

*TO BE DONE:

        1. Search actual BTS AND printouts of Llandenny, Gwehelog & Usk to find correct dat e of christening (Feb or Jul 23, 1815) and confirm that the James Powell found in Usk is th e right one.

        2. There are apparently no church records available at FHS for Gwehelog but there i s apparently a Methodist Church there as there is a record of transcribed cemetary inscriptio ns for that cemetary (should also check this source for Powell names).

         3. Death Certificate - Oct 1893

Notes for MARY JANE POWELL:

[Powell-James.FTW]

 

Birth: estimate from 1881 census (age 27) (1854?)- Llangwm, Ucha was in

       error.  Chr. indicates birth was in 1849 ( probably didn't want to

       tell the census taker her age! She was actually 31.)

       - 1871 Census (5) lists her as 19 (b. 1852?) again probably in error.

 

!Chr: - from Llangwm Parish Record ( Bishops Transcript) (2)

     " Oct 17, 1849, Bap. Mary Jane daugh. of James and Anne Powell, Pentre,

       Llangwm, Ucha, Farmer"

    Also from Printout of Chr. - Llangwm BT's - (3)

 

Residence: born onto Pentre Farm (apparently owned by her father)

     - 1871 Census (5) finds her living at home (age 19)- single

     - 1881 Census she is again at home (age listed as 27) - Unmarried

 

Occupation listed as Dairy Maid (1881 census)

 

Lived at Pentre Farm with her family from birth to 1881.

 

Marriage: - unmarried in 1881 (Census) but not found in the 1891 Census.

            Therefore possibly married before 1891.

Marriage Notes for JAMES POWELL and ELLEN PERROTT:

[Powell-James.FTW]

 

Marriage date obtained by Mrs. Barbara Williams (in Oct/Nov. 1999) in a search on behalf of W .C.Cook (marriage place not noted).  Marriage was found to be 27 Mar. 1873.   HOWEVER.... th e 1881 Census of Llangeview and 1891 Census of Llangwm list a daughter , Alice aged 10 and 2 0 yrs respectively (i.e. born 1971 .. 2 yrs before the marriage).  The 1871 Census of Llangw m lists James as single and living with his parents also confirming a marriage date later tha n 1871.   Census records show the next oldest sibling to Alice  (brother Victor James) to b e 5 years her younger (b. 1876) while remaining children were regularly spaced about 1 to 2 y rs apart.  It is likely that Alice was a product of a previous marriage of one or the other p arent or was the illigitimate daughter  of one of them (later adopted?) or an adopted child.

        He is found living with George E Powell and Frances in the 1891 Census

        of Llangwm. (2)  They would be his aunt and uncle (mother's brother).

        This makes it most likely that he is the George Williams who moved to

Occupation: in 1891 Census (2) he is listed as Agr. Labourer for George E.

            (3 miles S. and 1 mile E. of Iron Springs) until his death.

 

Note: It is apparent this is the George Williams who moved to Canada at about the same time a s The Cocks' & Fanny Powell and settled in the Iron Springs.  He was said to be the first cou sin of James H. Powell.  He homesteaded on the lands near Fanny Powell & Henry Cocks.  Wife w as Gladys Walker about 30 years his younger.  She came to Canada to marry him at a much late r date.
