This is Simon Powell. Indeed you are both correct and have the correct William Powell. He was indeed born in Westbury on Severn. Get hold of your mother, she has my email address or you can I believe even send me an email from this website. All the best and speak soon. William Powell had a twin brother by the way !

I'm not sure how to go about finding where he was born (Mum doesn't know). Would it be on her records anywhere (say birth certificiate) do you think?
