William# POWIS

  General Notes:

Found the following via Google books ; The Gentleman's Magazine 1793 'Marriages of Considerable Persons' - 22 Aug ; Mr Wm Powis of Wynch-street to Miss Anne Horlick of Great Queen Street' . On family search this says; 22 AUG 1793 , St Giles In The Fields, Holborn, London, England. William born About 1768 Of St Clemanta,Danes,London, England and Anne born About 1772 Of St Giles In The Fields, Holborn, London, England". But these dates seem to be 'guessed' by taking 25 for the groom and 21 for the bride.
But then also; Times August 24 1793: "Thursday was married, at St Giles in the Fields, Mr William Powis of Wych Street Strand to Miss Ann Horlick of Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, late of PAINSWICK, Glos."

Headstone at St Mary's, PAINSWICK, Glos;
"William POWIS, Esq,
Formerly of Greenwich, County of Kent,
Died at Farm Butts, this parish,
1 Jan 1845, 74
Ann, w, died at Ham Butts,
18 April 1845, 78" (see more under Ann).

Jane Powis IGI has; Chr 14 Apr 1807 GREENWICH, Kent. Parents Wm Powis and Mrs. Anne. Then if drill down on father it says HIS parents are Richard Powis and Phoebe. However this DoB out slightly on her age in '41 census.

Also the birth record for William, son of Richard and Phoebe, says chr 23 Jul 1777 which doesn't match headstone. Hhhmm.

Times November 8 1815; Married: At New Church in the Isle of Wight, on 2nd inst by the Rev.Sneyd, Mr William Harries of Stroudwater Gloucestershire, to Ann Maria, eldest daughter of Mr William Powis of Crooms Hill Greenwich in the county of Kent. Another Greenwich/Stroud connection.

1841 Census; Living as head, age ~70, at Amwell, St James, Clerkenwell, London. Not born this county. Living with wife, 3 dau (1 married) and 2 servants. Occupation; Independent means.

Can't find either Ann or Wm in '51 cenus, which tie in with graves. In '51 all the Jane Powis' are married, all the E's ditto. There is however an Elizabeth Baylis, 55, married (but husband not there) who was born in GREENWICH, Kent and is annuitant living in Bold St., Liverpool with her 2 children who are born in PAINSWICK Glos (other Cheltenham). Dau are dressmakers.

Glos Archives (Found National Archives website) 1844-1925 Contents: Deeds of a cottage near the Pound in the tithing of Edge and 44p. in Ham Field (formerly Barn Close) near Painswick (Powis family of Painswick)

London Gazette; could this be him?;
Notice is hereby given, that the Partnership which has for some time past been carried out by us the undersigned, Richard Powis and William Powis, as Brewers, at Greenwich, in the County of Kent, under the firm of Richard and William Powis, was this day dissolved by mutual concent: As witness our hands this. 1st day of August 1817.

Also in National Archives there are numerous references to Richard Powis the elder, Richard Powis, the younger, and William Powis, brewers of Greenwich. Around the early 1800's.
There was a Richard Jnr who died in Seneca Falls, New York, who was born in Greenwich 1779, which would be about right.
