The Powell Family

Nathaniel Robert Powell

Birth: 1821/2

Married:
Annette Georgina Mary Groome in 1854, in Rathdown district, county Dublin or Wicklow, Ireland

Death: 1887, in Rathdown district, county Dublin or Wicklow, Ireland, aged 65

Notes: W.F. Montague Groome writes in his Groome family tree that Nannie's husband was "Maj. Powell", but I have been unable to find corroboration of this rank. A Nathaniel Robert Powell is listed in the Irish Jurist 1849, p87 as having been admitted to the degree of Barrister on January 18th.

A Nathaniel J. Powell, aged 20, appears in the 1881 census at the London home of Annette's sister, Frances (Groome) Hardy. It is likely that this is a son of Nathaniel Robert Powell and Annette (Groome) Powell. He is shown as born in 'Dublin Belt Rock" which I guess is a mistranscription of "Dublin Blackrock".

Addresses:
1850:  Bellosquardo, Blackrock, county Dublin (Thom's Directory of Ireland)
1852:  Bellosquardo, Newtown-park Avenue, Blackrock, county Dublin (Thom's Directory of Ireland)

Nathaniel R. Powell, of Newtown Park, Blackrock, county Dublin is listed as owning 182 acres in county Meath in the 1870s.
