Lydney Parish Registers or BTs (Parish Records)
YES!
Howell POWELL the curate at Lydney in 1708-1713 is the same as Rev Howell POWELL the vicar of Llantilio Crossenny from 1713 and the rector of Llangattock-juxta-Usk from 1716 ... and my 6x gr-grandfather!
In 1712 he was also made chaplain to James, the 3rd Earl of Berkeley which is why I was vaguely looking in the Berkeley area and stumbled across the curate of Lydney. Quite how/why he made it from Radnorshire to Gloucestershire I don't know.
He had three daughters, two of whom married and lived in the Abergavenny area, the third married a Somerset man and lived there. Rev Howell POWELL was buried at Llangattock-juxta-Usk on 29 November 1736; his wife Anne was buried there on 20 April 1742.
I've searched for any of his daughter's baptisms for years, so I am over the moon with delight!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
