Hello Mal > I am trying to confirm the maiden name of JOHN POWELL's wife HANNAH who > lived in Shobden (Leominster). I think that they probably married 1825/26, > possibly also in the Shobden area. Don't know whether anyone has already answered this one for you or not, but better duplicated than nothing! Shobdon Parish Church 14 February 1825 John POWELL, widower, of this parish to Hannah HOWELLS, spinster, of this parish by Banns. (John POWELL made mark, Hannah signed). Witnesses Benjamin WATKINS & Susanna FRANCIS. Hope this helps. Gordon Evans
