Hi All, I am a comparative newcomer to family history research but thought that I might add something to the interesting exchanges that took place rather a long time back now concerning Shullomoth Powell. I can't offer anything new on the origins of the name but she was baptised Shelomith Roades on 6 April 1798 in Launton, Oxfordshire, UK according to OFHS PR Transcripts. Other records of her name include Shelometh and, of course, Shullomoth. In the 1851 Census she is shown as Elizabeth and in the 1861 Census as Susan. Perhaps she became tired of explaining how to spell Shullomoth! From her marriage to William Powell there were ten children, none with unusual names and, so far, no indication that Shullomoth was passed on. She died in 1865 and her headstone still stands in the churchyard of St Peter's Bucknell. Frustratingly, it is inscribed simply S. POWELL so fails to perhaps confirm the correct spelling let alone the origin of the name. Peter Powell
