I have already apologised for my oversight and said had I realised that I had already mentioned the current subject in a previous thread about Orlando Powell I would not have opened the new thread. What more can I say, apart from I wont use the boards again, or should I just cancel my GR membership???

I am not disputing that the person you were looking for may have been found....its the fact that the helpers on this thread have wasted their time giving you info that you had been given before.

Whatever the question was, you should have stuck to the one thread....after all it was titled Orlando Powell

Jax

My apologies. Checked the link and although this issue was not part of the initial subject of that thread, I see that this info; new at the time, was mentioned by me as a side issue within that thread. If I had recalled that, I would of course not have opened this thread. However, Caroline did find a 99.9% link.

Anthony

Please look at the link I gave

I don't normally remember what I did the day before but the name Orlando stuck out for me

Seen the entries you refer to, unfortunately the trail goes cold thereafter. I wonder what the likelihood is of the father's name being on the birth certificate? Thanks once again..

Jax

I bow to your superior memory, 22 months is a long time. I always double check the list of threads I have before posting anything and couldn't find any previous record. However, I may have broached the subject with Anthony Adolf?

GR Marilyn

Thanks for your imput

This looks to be the birth record:-

Births Mar 1890 (>99%)
Reeves Caroline Bethnal Green 1c 281

well my memory from jan 2011 is better than yours then

Wonders if in 1901census.......Orlando Powell has the (child ) living with him & his wife Annetta in Peckham ?

(John Henry Powell b 1891 Lambeth )? although 1901 census states John is b 1892 Lambeth.


Just a suggestion .... :-(

Catherine

Thanks you're a star. Looks as if you could dbe on the right track. I'll do some digging. Thank you

Have edited my previous posting with name of illegitimate child born to Martha Reeves.

Jax.

Cant recall asking this on the forum before.

Hi PollyPoppet

Yes this is him again. He appeared twice on the 1901 census once with his wife Annetta and just down the road with Mebel and Isabella. By luck I seem to have matched Mabel as Mabel Sawyer and her sister Isabel as Isabel Sawyer born Carlisle and Co Durham respectively and identical ages. Again here I find no trace of the child albeit there was an Orlando born suthwark about this time but parentage proved to be someone else. I guess the child here may have just been a figment of imagination??

this could be it?
