Hi Chris,
It is for an ex-teacher, you know!
Anyway thanks for replying but I`m not certain she`s the one as there was a SarahAnne POWELL living at Lane End in the 51 census who was written as "illegitimate"
There were so many POWELLs living in Coleford and Mitcheldean
I`ve tried to sort them out but its difficult as there seemed to have been several couples named James and Ann but I`m as certain as can be that Sarah Anne and Margaretta were the children of my 2x great grandfather William POWELL`s parents. The advanced search doesn`t reveal any children in between William and the elusive pair of girls. I did think of stillbirths but the baptisms seem to rule this out I notice that the burial was at Christchurch where Sarah Anne and Margaretta were baptised.
best wishes and thanks again
Sylvia
