I have received from Frances Macneil, his great-grand-daughter, a copy of a death announcement in a paper:

MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1890
POWYS-At Garden Creek, Kingsclear, on the 18th inst., William Cunliffe Powys, Captain, late of H. M. 22nd regiment, aged 49 years.

A small photo accompanied this.  I am hoping to get a copy of either an enlargement or of the original.
