Goog grief, Hyacinth! You didn't ask much, did you? That one's really unreadable! I've got it up to 200% but can't help.

BELLAFLO

Thankyou so much! I will investigate Ancestry tree's.

My young Matilda Powell b1837 was living with her Uncle Able Fletcher by the 1851 census. He was also a Key/locksmith Journeyman.
Fingers crossed for me.

UPDATE

I have found an Ancestry member that has a William and Sarah Green both born c1780 with a son Isaac Green born c1812.

Guess what?....Isaac had 3 Sisters....Phoebe c1815 Sarah c1817and Anne c1819.....My Matilda named her 1st Daughter...ANNIE and another Sarah!

I wonder if..........

Just gotta hope they return my message now.

Had a speedy reply from the Ancestry member.
Here it is...

Hi Geraldine,
Thanks for getting in touch. The short answer is I'm not sure, It certainly looks like the same family. Both William and Sarah had died before the next census, so it's hard to check any connection. My connection to this family is through one of William and Sarah's daughters, called Phoebe. One of her descendants married into my family. As far as I know there is no Powell or Fletcher connections to this family,but I could be wrong. The 1841 census is less than helpful in this sort of situation.
Regards Gary


It doesnt give me the answer but was nice to get the reply.
So it's back to the drawing board.....:-(
