Hi all, I am new to this list and new to researching in Wales. I am tracing a Rees POWELL born about 1831 in South Wales. I find him in the 1885 Kansas Census in Osborne County and in the 1880 US census living in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with his brother William born about 1832 who is married to Anna and has a child Alice. I have found no other records of Rees in the US census, but William is listed in the 1900 census in Westmorland County as widowed with Alice living with him. I believe I locate Rees and William in the 1841 Wales census as children of Edward and Mary POWELL living in Margam Parish. Edward is a farmer and the children listed are Edward 14, Elizabeth 12, Rees 10, William 9, David 7, Jennis 5, Alice 3, Ann 1. In the 1851 census, the older children are found in St. Brides Parish with Edward listed as farmer of the acres and Elizabeth, Rees, David, and Janet. I seem to lose track of Rees at this time but find William in 1871 listed with his father Edward in! St. Brides Major. I also find William in the 1911 Wales census living in St. Brides Major with his daughter Alice who was born in Pennsylvania, USA. Is anyone familiar with this family or doing research on this POWELL family? Charlene Sent from my iPad
