Powell

[janet mary]

I would like to find out a bit more about some of my ancestors. I'm OK with my great-grandfather Horace Powell, but I wonder what became of his brothers Maurice Augustus (I'm not kidding) and Clement William. They were born in the 1860's, mother Elizabeth and father William.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I guess you may be interested in a Clement William Powell married Dec quarter of 1891 Aston Vol 6d Page 625 found on https://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
I do know know if he married Emma Broadhurst or Sarah Ann Thomas though.

Goof Luck

This could be your Clement in 1891:
Place: Birmingham -Warwickshire

ADDERLEY William Head M M 67 House Painter(Em'ee) Warwickshire - Birmingham

ADDERLEY Louisa Daur S F 24 Warwickshire - Birmingham
ADDERLEY Harry Grdson - M 5 Warwickshire - Birmingham
POWELL Clement Boardr S M 21 Metal Spinner(Em'ee) Warwickshire - Yardley

And could this be Maurice ?
(Although it says he was born overseas, being a boarder that may have been just a story...?)

Many thanks everyone! It all looks good, just not sure about the Augustine Powell reference, just too different. I know Clement was born in Yardley, so this is him.
Also I do know that Maurice was born in Somerset - their father William was a commercial traveller hence the varying birthplaces! Thank goodness they gave their children such peculiar first names or it would be a non-starter with a name like Powell! (What kind of parents call 2 sons Horace and Maurice? - I ask you).
Alberta - I had not found this, and it's really helpful as I need Elizabeth's birth cert. and there are numerous Elizabeth Harrises around! I know her Dad was born in Tardebigge.
Again, all your effort much appreciated. If only someone could sort out my Brownings and Ecclestons .....
Best wishes
