______________
TFPL, Sept 2011: Interestingly the National Burial Index has a Caroline Powys buried on 14 May 1887 at Titchmarsh, aged 74, giving a birth year of c. 1807. This is nearer to RCLPL’s info of her namesake, another CP. So she should be in the 1871 and 1881 censuses.
And indeed she was in the 1871 census with her sister Eleanor and two servants:
Surname Forename Age Relation Occupation Birth Place
Powys Caroline 58 Head Income From Dividends Titchmarsh, Northampton
Powys Eleanor 56 Sister Income From Dividends Titchmarsh, Northampton
Ludlow Jane 50 Serv Lady's Maid St Georges, Middlesex
Barriene Caroline 28 Serv Lady's Maid B. S. , Switzerland
Address: 87 Oxford Terrace, Paddington
Registration District: Paddington, Mx
ImageReference: RG10/0019/~F29
This too gives her birth as 1813.
