Hi Folks,

I notice that quite a few people (including myself) seem to have
ancestors
from Powick. Mine were Caswell's from about 1800 - 1900 at which point
my
gt grandfather moved to Birmingham. Was Powick quite a big place in the
1800's ? Any info on Powick would be gratefully received.

Regards

Debbie
