Elizabeth Hitchins

   Other names for Elizabeth were Elizabeth Higgins and Elizabeth Powell.

  Research Notes:

It has been suggested that Elizabeth may well have been more than a housekeeper for William Powell, since her son James adopted the surname Powell after the 1851 census. It is my opinion that this is a very likely scenario, since William lived apart from his wife on each of the 1851 and 1861 censuses in addition to the above factors, although will need more proof before linking the two families together.

  Noted events in her life were:

• Census: 1851, 30 Mar 1851, Lower Panta, Glascoed, Monmouthshire.

• Disability: Deaf, 30 Mar 1851, Lower Panta, Glascoed, Monmouthshire.

• Occupation: Domestic Servant, 30 Mar 1851, Lower Panta, Glascoed, Monmouthshire.

• Census: 1861, 7 Apr 1861, Turff House, Glascoed, Monmouthshire.

• Occupation: Domestic Servant, 7 Apr 1861, Turff House, Glascoed, Monmouthshire.

• Census: 1871, 2 Apr 1871, Twyncreen, Glascoed, Monmouthshire.

• Occupation: Housekeeper, 2 Apr 1871, Twyncreen, Glascoed, Monmouthshire.

Elizabeth married.
