i v been searching through parish records and came across a couple marrying and coming from powderbatch, where would that be or have been.  also i came across a few couples having clandestine marriages in buttington [buffington], what would these have been.

Hello Mollymandysb

I can't answer your specific question about Powderbatch but there is a road called Powder Lane off Haygate Road in Wellington, now part of Telford. I just wonder if there is some connection.

There is a place called Buttington near Welshpool in Wales. It is on the A458 road. Difficult to know whether this is the one you are looking for.

Hi Stephanie, Someone on RootsChat.com  States that (note spelling) Powderbach is a parish in Herefordshire. Another thinks it's a misspelling of (Church) Pulverbatch/Pulverbach.

Best Regards
