Subject: Ada Powell

All I know about Ada Powell is that she was the mother of Charlotte Blanche Powell. born in Jersey 1869

From my chilhood I remember family stories about an heiress. disowned by her family for an elopement with the coachman.
George (1823) Bulson was a coachman and a reputed roue.

I have never found any evidence of this story. Hence, could Ada be the girl?
Thanks for your interest. Pam

New thread:

"Hello Folks.
Thankyou for previous help.
Can anyone assist with Ada Powell?
All I know is that she was living in Jersey C.I. in June 1869 when she gave birth to an illegitemate daughter Charlotte Banche Powell, my great aunt.
Charlotte is variously listed as Carlotta and Colather.
Charlotte remained in Jersey until the 1890s. Listed in census reports as the adopted daughter of George Bulson b.1823 Somerset, my great grandfather and Charlottes putative parent.
Pam"

Pam - best to continue on this one and delete the other thread.

The 1901 Charlotte Shepard that Shirley found isn't her,

Son Harold's baptism names his parents as George William Shephard and Charlotte Marile Cavey

Charlotte was born on the 19th of June 1868 and baptized as Charlotte Blanche on the 26th August. Her godparents were Edwin Bulson and Mary Bulson.

She was the illegitimate daughter of Ada Powell.

Edwin and Mary seem to be the children of George Bulson.

In 1871 I assume that Charlotte in the 'Colather' Powell living with the family

I see my post has been restored.

Yes I remember it was the 1881 census that you posted Shirley, I spotted it this morning

Dont know why someone would RR it though....maybe the poster clicked the wrong button?


Ive just had a PM from Pam asking if anyone has access to Jersey BMDs No feedback to any of the questions or info we have posted though!

i just copied over the 1881 census transcript for Carlotta living still in Jersey!

why has my response been requested for review?
think it was only the 1881 census info .

could that death be her, still unmarried?

i wondered too if the second name was Bulson It seemed a very probable.

wonder if she went back to Jersey
