Looking for records of Sarah Anne and Margaretta POWELL (General)

by sylviamorgan, (6255 days ago)

Hi
My 3x great grandparentsJames and Ann POWELL were married at Micheldean in 1811. They had a son William in 1813 at Coleford. It seems (from the parish records)they also had two daughters(Sarah Anne and MARGARETTA) in 1839 but I can`t find any more records for the girls. I`ve tried freebmd with no result.Any help would be appreciated

I apologise for missing the "t" out of Micheldean

It's not a hanging offence Sylvia!

Speculation time. It's possible that Sarah did not marry?

It's a big gap. Are you sure it is the same family? I can't find the girls on the 1841 Census Index on this site.

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
