If this is correct then the birth record for Horace is either not the correct one, or, his father was not William.

Was having trouble finding the family after 1871, think this must be the reason why:-

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1983
William Maurice Powell abt 1829 1874 Jul-Aug-Sep Staines Middlesex

1861:-

Name: William Maurice Powell

This is the only birth record I could find for Horace that fits with dates:-

Births Jun 1886 (>99%)
Powell Horace William Warwick 6d 610

Can you confirm that this is correct date?

This matches with the info above:-

Marriages Dec 1864 (>99%)
Cooper Edward Birmingham 6d 310
Harris Elizabeth Birmingham 6d 310
Powell William * Birmingham 6d 310

This could be confirmed by buying the birth certificate of one of the children as mothers maiden name is given.

As Clement is noted here as nephew I am including marriage for Edward and Kerzia (she may be sister of Elizabeth):-

Marriages Jun 1876
COLLIER Edward King's N 6c 634
Harris Kezia King's N 6c 634

The district King's N is an alternative name for Kings Norton and it spans the boundaries of the counties of Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire

This looks like Clement in 1881

Think you may have made a mistake for the name of second child as couldn't find a birth record for a Clarence William but did find the following which fits with 1871 census:-

have you tried search trees at the top of the page you may find some connections

*EDITED! WRONGLY PUT CLARENCE PREVIOUSLY - REPLACED WITH CLEMENT - MANY APOLOGIES *


Hello! I'm trying to trace back my Powell family and maybe make some contacts. I have tried this before so briefly I have:
William b. 1829 Tolworth Surrey
His sons Maurice Augustus (Somerset), Horace (B'ham) and Clement William (Yardley). Horaces's children Phillip, Clement, Lizzie, Hilda and Kathleen. (All born Birmingham area).

I've now found my gg uncle Clement William living in Edmonton in 1901 with his wife Annie and children Lucy, William, Nora and Augustus (registered Maurice Augustus, named after Clement's brother).
Worth noting that Clement had dropped his 1st name and on the census appears as William. I also suspect that his wife was actually Sarah Ann as I have found a relevant marriage. Also Clement and Augustus seem to be "family" names as they crop up elsewhere.

Ring any bells?
