HARRY POWELL - Lambeth

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Here's their marriage:

Name: Sarah Ann Parmenter + Arthur Joseph Powell
Year of Registration: 1897
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: St Saviour Southwark
County: London, Surrey
Volume: 1d
Page: 288


So the other kids were born post 1897. This is the only record post-1911 that matches the surnames, but it would not be a sibling, since Arthur and Sarah were deceased by then, presumably:

Name: Vera F Powell
Year of Registration: 1919
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's Maiden Name: Parmenter
District: West Ham
County: Essex, Greater London
Volume: 4a
Page: 626


This is Sarah's family in 1891:

Ada Parmenter 10
Alfred Parmenter 7
Edmund Parmenter 5
Ellen Parmenter 1
Frederick Parmenter 13
Henry Parmenter 38
Mary A Parmenter 36
Sarah A Parmenter 15


And this is Arthur's:

Robert Martin 28
Joseph Partridge 28
Amy Powell 6
Arthur Powell 7
Emily Powell 12
Job Powell 44
John Powell 16
Rose Powell 3


No obvious Aunt Min there, although it could have been a nickname, of course. My mum's aunt wasn't baptized Dud. ;)


Sarah and Arthur had no kids yet (or no surviving kids) in 1901:


Name: Sarah Ann Powell
Age: 24
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1877
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: Arthur Toby
Gender: Female
Where born: Lambeth, London, England

Civil Parish: Lambeth
Ecclesiastical parish: St James Kennington
County/Island: London
Country: England

Registration district: Lambeth
Sub-registration district: Kennington First
ED, institution, or vessel: 5
Household schedule number: 26

Alexander Crawford 22
Arthur Toby Powell 27
Sarah Ann Powell 24


Not quite sure what you meant by "the later ancestors" -- maybe exactly the ones in 1891 there!


If the parents were still living in 1911, you could apply for access to the census for the address on Harry's birth cert, if you think they might still have been living there, to see whether they had any children living at that time.

Other than that, there are so many Powell births in Lambeth 1900-1905, e.g., ... there just wouldn't seem to be any way to distinguish theirs.

POWELL

I'm trying to find any information regarding my grandfather Harry Powell Born 18 October 1906 at Richmond Street, Kennington Road, Lambeth. His parents were Arthur Job
(B 1874 - 40 Regency Place) and Sarah Ann (Nee Parmenter) (B1875 - 2 Cottage Place, New Street, Princes Road, Lambeth).

My grandfather was apparently one of nine children, his brothers and sisters died at birth or at an early age. His parents died when he was young and he was taken into a childrens home and taken out by a lady he called Aunt Min (Minnie). (Not sure that she was really his aunt)!

Any information regarding his family would be greatly appreciated, although I know the later ancestors, I would love to know about his brothers and sisters.

Thanks

Lisa
