You have the info reversed..........it's Vol 26, Page 271 Although that Vol is Presteigne... and the marriage was registered in Droitwich........... Just checked image............Vol should be 18..the transcribers have picked up the Vol no. for the entry below 'yours'........... So you need Droitwich Vol 18, Page 271 Reg

FreeBMD has: Surname Given Name District Volume Page Transcriber -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Jun 1846 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Powell Thomas Tyler Presteigne XXVI 271 However, if you look at the image (it's dreadful!) the volume number appears to be XVIII which is 18 not 26 I think the registration district is DROITWICH too The GENUKI page for civil registartions in Worcestershire says that the relevant volume for Droitwich is XVIII = 18
