researching these names Lydbrook Joys Green West Dean East DEan Sylvia

Sylvia, I'm trying to find more information about William Powell, who according to census was born in Mitcheldean in 1834. Does this ring any bells with your own research?

Tony Powell

Tony, My great great grandfather was William POWELL. In the 1841 census he
was said to have been born in 1815 at Berry Hill nd in 1837 married Mary Ann
WILLIAMS Sylvia

Tony My William POWELL was married at English Bicknor 1837 to a Mary Ann WILLIAMS

Sylia - sorry to have been so long in replying.

From the data given, I don't think my William Powell and yours are identical, though they may have been related. As near as I can ascertain, my William was born in 1829 in Mitcheldean, and moved on from there to Stoke-on-Trent, where he worked as a potter. At present, I'm not sure about his parentage.

Best wishes with your research

Tony Powell
