I'm researching the Powell family of - I think - Bedminster, Bristol. I have some details which I would like to confirm from the 1891 census The head being Thomas aged 38.

Flo was from Wigan but ended up living in various locations such as Clifton in the 1940's where she ran a theatrical boarding house in Whiteladies Rd and Patchway in the late40/ 50's.
