Hi I would be really grateful for any help in my search and location of: Lenny Powell, .If you are from the POWELL family and any of the following sounds familiar, please contact me: LENNY POWELL born in the 1930’s, into a very large family and was perhaps the youngest of 10 children. We know four of his siblings were named John, Albert, Irene and Louise (Lou) - she was many years older than Lenny. His parents lived in South London, his mother Florance, (nee Precious) was born around 1890 and was originally form the West Country. His father, John Powell - a blacksmith born around 1882, was killed in an air raid shelter in London, during the blitz and Lenny was evacuated to Brighton. As a young adult Lenny lived in the East End of London. During the late 1950's - early 1960's he was arrested at Blackwall Buildings, Mile End and we think he served a prison sentence at Wormwood. He had two children with partner MARY (MARIE) PAINE from Liverpool: STEPHEN POWELL born 01/12/1957 ALISON MARGARET POWELL born 13/01/1959 Please contact me if this remotely rings a bell. Thank you
