William was born 1790 in Oxen Hall, Gloucestershire, England and Christened the base son of Mary POWELL 1 August 1790 in Upton Bishop, Herefordshire, England, this is within 3 miles of Oxen Hall. (his father is at present unknown to me) I base my conclusions on these facts Mary POWELL's father is John POWELL and he owned the Royal Oak Inn in Newent, Gloucestershire, England after his death the owner is this William POWELL, also there is an Admon of John POWELL's which states he leaves every thing to his grand son William.
