• Matthew PowellI have been trying to find information on the my GG Grandfather Issaac Powell who married Margaret McGrath (McGraw?) in County Down, Ireland approximately 1845. They migrated to Canada in 1850 and then to Victoria, Australia in 1855, leaving from New York, USA. All the certificates of birth and death for their children list County Down as their places of birth and marriage but not the town where these events took place. I would be interested in corresponding with any Powells who can trace their ancestry to County Down. I live in Perth, Western Australia.

Regards
Matthew Powell

• Sharon (Catlin) Coleman I'm looking for parents of my great-grandfather Sylvester Bertram Powell, b. 28 Aug 1872 Brunswick, Chariton Co., MO; d. 8 Dec 1956 Vinita, Craig Co., OK.

Bert, as he was called, married 28 Nov 1894 Garfield Co., OK to Henrietta Jane Manor (b. 29 Mar 1872 Nebraska, d. 1 Dec 1955 Vinita, Craig Co., OK). Henrietta's parents were Samuel Maner and Margaret (McCoy) Maner.
Children of Bert and Henrietta were Charles Powell, b. 22 Apr 1896 OK, Earl M. Powell b. ca 9 Aug 1903 OK, and Ethel Leota Powell b. 7 Aug 1901 OK.
It is family tradition that Bert was orphaned. I have no idea if he had siblings. Any help with this family is appreciated.

• Jean McCoyThomas Powell b. 1794[who was a doctor] m. Isabella Unknown b. 1788, both born GA, who knows where? They were in Rutherford County, TN in 1830 where my great gfather[Alexander Wise Youngblood Powell] was born in Feb 1830. They already had daughter Elva b. ca 1815, William E. b. 1818. [William E was Methodist Preacher in 1870 in Summerville, Chattooga County, GA.] About 1836 this family including son William already on his own, moved to Walker County, GA, then by 1845 Dr. Thomas and William were buying land in GA. His other children included James R, b. 1817; Martha, b. 1826; Alexander, b. 1830; Louisa b. 1832. All children born TN. I need information of where Thomas and Isabella were born. Later, Oliver Conrad Powell, son of Alexander, married Annie C. Unknown January 17, 1895. They had one daughter Lennie Irene Powell. Oliver Conrad divorced Annie C. August 3, 1903 at Griffin, Spaulding County, GA. They had lived in Forsyth County, GA. My main question was where Thomas and Isabella came from in GA before they went to TN. The county they went to in 1836 had been Cherokee land, without white people until 1832. Thanks for any suggestions and help.

• F. Daniel PowellHow do I start getting information on my grandfather, Oliver Powell, who came supposedly either from New Jersey or Kentucky, moved to Morgantown, West Virginia in the early 1900's, married Mary Jane Hilling, and died in Morgantown in 1954. We know nothing other than he came to WV on a train and started working in the Glass Factories here.

• DorothySearching for info on my Powell line. My 5th great grandparents were John Powell, Sr. who married Mary Cromwell; 4th great grandparents John Powell whose spouse was Alice Brewer, 3rd great grandparents were James Powell and Rebecca Bynum, then Green "Berry" Powell who married Martha "Patsey" Tidmore, great grandparents were Henry Carl Powell and Lela Harrison (second wife). This is about all I know on this line. There is a note on this research that Mary Cromwell was a direct descendant of the famed Oliver Cromwell, but no proof of this. I would be so happy to hear from someone who might have done research on anyone in my Powell line. This has been a difficult family to trace since there are many James and John Powells.

• J. Paul Sides I'm still trying to locate any information on my g-grandfather David Frank Powell. Died June 1902 in Lindale, Texas. I went to the library today in Smith County to look for obits. They had no newspapers on film for that year.

I'm new to genealogy and have had some success with other branches of my family tree. This one is frustrating. My father is an only child. His mother was an only child. Her dad, David Frank, died 9 months after she was born. It appears that her parents were only married for a couple of years before his death. So...hardly anything is known about this side of my family.

• Alex I am from Malta. I would like to know something about our Powell family in England. My grandfather, Percy Powell, was born on 14 Sept. 1895 in Burn St.Winnow RB.(according to the birth certificate) There he lived in the county of Cornwall, Sub-district Lanlivery. Registration district: Bodmin. Though not registered, I think that Torquay was a place he lived in as well. His parents were James (occupation: farmers hand) and Hannah maiden Cooms. Percy was in the Royal Navy which eventually took him to Malta where he married Helen Gordon in Nov. 1917. They settled in Malta. He died in 1954. Presumably he had about 13 siblings, three of them may be Walter, Mabel, Sarah. Any information would help me and my family to know our far away family better.

Thank you,
Alex Powell

• StephI am trrying to locate my Father's [1905-1988] father whom he never knew except by name--Elwell M. Powell, supposed to be born in Jacksonville, Fl about 1885. We have a newspaper obit [ sent by a sister Alice Walden in 1963] with no date [probably late 1950s] saying he was buried in Gainesville, Fl. was a Railway Conductor and a member of their society as well as a Mason. Survived by two other sisters , Allene Fairly, Mrs J. Geiger, and a widow, Katherine Powell.

In my fathers papers was also a picture of a man 45-55 years old dressed abt 1900 garb, taken in a studio in Jacksonville. On the back in pencil is written Benjamin H. Powell. I think he may have been either father or uncle to Elwell. He would have been born abt 1850s or early 1860s.. I would really like some help with the history of These two men,at least one a close ancestor.
Thanks.
