I think you just tried to input too much information, Margaret, sometimes less is best. I just entered last name Powell born 1850, Halghton.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Thank you everyone. I tried to be smart and instead of inputting Thomas I used Harriet - spelt with an E - I would never have thought of Narcott !! Then I tried Benjamin - spelt with an i not an a.

Sorry Reggie - I will remember to give more detail in future..

I cannot for the life of me spot the above Powell family on 1861 census. On 1851 they - father Thomas 26, wife Harriet 26, son Thomas 1 month - were living Bank House, Halghton and on 1871 census they were living 3 Halghton Mill with daughter Elizabeth 15,son Benjamin 13, son Richard 5 and son William 2.

By 1881 Census Thomas Powell Senior had died and his wife Harriet re-married a Philip Fox. I have them on 1881.

Could anyone have a quick look to see if I have overlooked them ? Thank you.
