James# Powell

  Notes:

Birth and parents from IGI. A little bit speculative at the moment !
Marriage from IGI.

Later found bapt in Hereford CRO on EH PR's "James the son of Wm Powell by Mary his wife was bapt Sept 25th 1749"

Found marriage in Hereford CRO in EH PR's "James Powell of the parish of Dore and Elizabeth Christopher otp were married by banns April 7th 1769. Two 'mark of'. Witnesses were Richard Ines, William Pritchard and James Look.

Why is he 'of Dore' if born in EH and married there, and children chr there? Have I got completely the wrong person ? Too many Powell's !!

Also in the EH Pr's there is a James Powell of EH buried 2 Nov 1821 aged 85, which isnt quite a match.

James Powell, Blacksmith BR/1808/20 1808
