Mandy, Welcome back. I think I'm right in saying that in 1841 census counties matched the county boundaries. After that they didn't. These are the POWELL in Staunton on Arrow in 1851 and as you will see they are in the Presteigne census district within Radnorshire.

I haven't checked if these appear on Ancestry but I suspect not, and if not, then it will mean looking at the census elsewhere. These don't appear on the S&N 1851 HEF Census CD that I have here. I don't have ready access to the PR's I'm afraid. Hope that helps a little.

Firstly, I cannot find Staunton on the 1851 (found it on the 41 no probs but.) I've tried looking under nearby villages of Titley, Marston, Shobdon but none seem to cover Staunton. Did it get missed completely or am I looking in the wrong place altogether? Secondly, I have a lot of Powells born in Staunton on Arrow (yes, I know Powell is like SMITH to the rest of the country) but I wondered if anyone had access to the PRs for Staunton who might be able to help me sort out a few conundrums. Fingers crossed Mandy
