There are two marriages for her name:
Last name First name(s Year Location
Nielsen Susan E 1974 Southend on Sea, Essex
Nielsen Susan E 1986 Birmingham, Warwickshire
At the earlier marriage she would have been a mere 16, very unusual these days. So, order a copy of the second marriage and see if it was hers as the district is possibly far from her parents. She would have been 28 at the second marriage.
The marriage certificate has arrived: The two points that serve to identify it with her are:
1. She was indeed 28 years old on the certificate
2. Her father was listed as Frederick Nielsen, salesman
Her brother’s marriage in 2003 confirmed that their father was in Sales.
She married Robin James Smith aged 36, divorced and a Head Chef. She was a receptionist.
The marriage was on 16th August 1986 at Birmingham Register Office.

There were two births in the Birmingham district, out of nine Smith-Nielsen overall:
Last name First name(s) Year Of Birth Location
Smith Daniel James 1987 Birmingham, Warwickshire
Smith Tanya Kathleen 1991 Birmingham, Warwickshire
I wish I felt more confident about the evidence. I am not entering them as children and Powys descendants for the moment.
Obtaining her brother’s marriage, which confirmed that their father indeed worked as a salesman, had given greater confidence that the above marriage was hers.
Let’s get the brith certificate for the firstborn to see if it indicates that he might well be w Powys descendant:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
SMITH, DANIEL JAMES NIELSEN
GRO Reference: DOR Q2/1987 in BIRMINGHAM (0611M) Volume 32 Page 1704
And if he is right, then I will take a bet that his sister is too, saving myself a swift £11. His cert was ordered on 29th April 2022.
