Hi,
I'm unable to find a Baptism either, yet. However searching the GlosBMD site (which shows an awful lot of Mary Powells thro the years!), gave this birth registration that seems the best fit to me. Is this your Mary ?. Is the mother's maiden name correct ?. The site shows other Mary Powells born in the Forest around this time but they all have second and even third names as well as Mary.
If you've not used GlosBMD its a great site, very userfriendly, plus gives Registry Office marriages as well as Church PRs.
