DAVIES - POWEL - Pencwm

[Welshexpat]

Looking for information on John Davies. The 1881 census records him as living in Pencwm, Llanynis (sic) Breacknock aged 40, place of birth Builth, married to Emma Powell aged 36, place of birth Builth.

There are a number of John Davies born in Builth, Breconshire.
4 born in 1840
5 born in 1841
5 born in 1842

I think you have a hard job here. i will look and see if I can find a marriage.

I take it you have one of the children's birth cert. as you have mother's maiden name.

1891 Cencus - Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 4566; Folio: 61; Page: 5; GSU Roll: 6099676.


Emma Davies 47 widow of Ag. Lab.
Elizabeth A Davies 21 Daughter
John Davies 19 Son
William A Davies 10 Son
Price Davies 8 Son
Minnie Davies 6 Daughter
Rhoda A Davies 4 Daughter
John Davies 5 Grandson

So between 1887 when Rhoda A was born to 1891 the next census Husband John has died

I don't have any paperwork for this family line, only oral tradition, most of which is proving suspect.

This could be the marriage registration
On same page FreeBMD
Marriages December 1/4 1864
John Davies
Emma Powell
registration district Presteigne
11b 309

Purchasing this certificate would give you the names of the father's and their occupations.

The 1871 census has John Davies born Aberedw, Radnorshire not Builth Breconshire as in the 1881.
But Free BMD says Builth spans the boundaries of the counties of Breconshire, Powys and Radnorshire.

familysearch.org has a baptism for a John Davies 6 March 1841 Aberedw, Radnorshire to parents James and Esther

This would appear to be Esther and children in 1841 Joanna and John's baptisms are on FMP.

I am not saying this is your John just that he is a likely contender. You do need that marriage cert.
