Thank you Mary.

Before you go to the trouble of looking anything else up, I need to point out that it's actually the Powells I am looking at. I have no idea if this George Joseph Powell is connected or not, but I have had a go at my gg grandfather William so often I am clutching at straws now!

I found the baptism of George's son Horace (this is a family name for the Powells, hence I checked it out), and his father George was a commercial traveller - same occ as my gg grandfather. So I was kind of hoping against the odds that something might connect them together.

I fear this is one of many wild goose chases! :-D :-D :-D

Oh good,Jan!

I probably shouldn't try technical things before I'm fully caffeinated. ;-)

Hi Jan,
Just tried again.

If it doesn't work maybe someone else could have a go??

Thanks very much for your responses Dea & Glitterbaby - that explains it! I just assumed they would be on Ancestry.

Maureen, thanks very much - was hoping that was the case! I got your message - many thanks - but nothing attached unfortunately. :-(

Please would you be kind enough to have another go?

May I ask a favour please? I am trying to find a marriage for Mary Ann H (Hannah??) Cobb, as shown below, on London Parish Records , but I just can't seem to find it.

Marriages Jun 1871 (>99%)
Cobb Mary Ann H St Geo H Sq 1a 663
Corston Mary St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 663
Powell George Joseph St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 663
Taylor Archaibald St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 663
TAYLOR Archibald St Geo H Sq 1a 663

It's probably just me being dim!

Many thanks.
