I am trying to find the marriage of Richard and Sarah Powell of Neath, probably c. 1747.

They could also have married in London, as many of the family did.

<NAS Gw 5/7, 8> Marriage Settlement after the marriage of Richard Powell and Sarah by Lease and Release dated 16 and 17 Feb. 1747; (i) Richard Powell of Neath, gent., and Sarah his wife, to (ii) Richard Turberville of Ewenny, esq., and William Bell of Sandhurst, esq., with (iii) John Carne of Nash, esq. and Thomas Williams of Brecon, gent.; Houses and lands called Tyr Kenol yn Bronwidd, y Tir Mawr yn Bronwidd, Tir Nant Lleche, y Gorswen, Brynykeel and Aberllia, all in the parish of Ystradfellte; also Tir y Garth, Tir Verch Vorgan, Llwyne Llafrod, Tir y Dyfnant, Gwain y Gilfach, Llwyn y Turner and Maes y Fron, all in the parish of Ystradgynlais; also Kenfidd Ifan Isha, Kaegarw, Pentre, a water mill and kiln, Tir Rosser, Moleguila and a cottage, all in the parish of Bettws; also Abergwrelych in the parish of Glyncorrwg, Eastland and a house and garden in the occupation of William Gwyn, two houses and a house at Quarella Bach now converted into a meeting house, in the town and parish of Neath


There is so much documentation to peruse that it's making my head spin.

Sarah Powell left her estate to her niece Anne Evans, sister of OH's 4x gt. grandmother Susannah Lamb.

I can't find a marriage, but a lot of Welsh stuff isn't online yet.

Thanks for looking, Kate. Perhaps FMP will put it on. Also, it's early.

I wonder if this is the marriage:
