I have Luton Powdrill's too.

I guess then that your grand father was Cecil John Powdrill and your great grand mother was Martha Dowell.

In which case your g-g grandparents were Joseph Powdrill and Mary Harrison.

Does that seem right ?

A family bible would of course help and maybe fill in a few gaps. It would be interesting to know how far back it goes.

I have Joseph's parents as William Powdrill (1821-1871) and wife Ann (nee Brooks) (1817-1876).

Grand-parents George and Elizabeth Powdrill.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have found William's father George Powdrill born approx 1808 and listed as a traveller in in 1843. Ann's father was Thomas Brooks. The family bible lists Joseph Powdrill and Mary Harrison and their children. My email is patricia276@btinternet.com if you would like o get in touch.
