In the 1881 census a Henry C L Powys was a visitor at William Day at 1 Queen St, St George Hanover Sq, London. The names are so similar but he was 22 in the census and 12 from RCL P-L's records, so doesn't tie up. But looking at the births of the other children, I do not believe RCLPL's date of 1869.
His birth is registered as ‘Male Powys’. And on FreeBMD as ‘Male Powy’ (I’ve sent in a correction).
Curiously Evelyn Archer Powys's entry in Burke's Colonial Gentry of 1890 odd omits his brother Henry altogether.
His death in 1900 is recorded with an age of 40, making him born in 1859-1860 so I have altered his birth date from RCLPL’s 1869.
Not found in the 1891 census.
