Hi Maxwell,

Welcome to the forum.

what research have you done on the family? Do you have them in census records, marriages etc, just to save any duplicate research.

I see Harry and Hannah married in St Mary's Bootle.

I have them on the 1891 census, Harry was a Marine fireman.

thanks again jan. each piece of information you give me places another piece of the jigsaw in place. i am going to a meeting at the victorian genealogy society on wednesday to learn how to do this family history tree properly. i am sure that if i am lucky enough to meet people like you along the journey it will make my task that much easier. cheers, max

Hi Jan,

It’s now 2020, so 9+ years since your last post. I hope you get this, as I found it through Google.

Harry Haines Powell is my great great grandfather. Please can you message me back and we can make some family links!? I have been working through my family tree, with the help of Ancestry DNA and the genetic tests.

This is so exciting!!

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Harry H Powell is not my family, I was helping our poster Maxwell at the time.

If you message Maxwell (who hasn't posted since) maybe you could compare notes.

Good luck.

Jan

Hi Jan!

Many thanks. It was only after I re-read the post a few times that I saw your name assigned to the reply. Apologies as I was on my phone when viewing it.

I have tried to contact Maxwell who is definitely a relative of mine. I have also messaged him through AncestryDNA.

I am just trying to find where the family line went after GG.Grandfather Harry Haines Powell and GGG.Grandfather William Powell.

Thanks so much for messaging back.

Best regards!

Peter
