Looking for Hopkins, Joseph, Powell (or Powel), and Cullis.

My Hopkins great great grandparents were: Thomas Hopkins and Sarah nee´ Powel (no other details known). My Hopkins great grandparents emigrated to NZ in 1860 from the Forest of Dean. Family stories are that the Hopkins family were Welsh, and my great grandmother was Jewish from Wales (her name, Joseph, is consistent with the Jewish story).

My great grandparents were William Hopkins and Sarah Ann Joseph. Sarah Joseph was a child of Thomas Joseph and Ann Cullis. William Hopkins was born 8 Mar 1835, (?Lydney); Christening: 26 Apr 1835, Lydney. Sarah Joseph was born 6 Mar 1837, Lydbrook.
