My grandma was Percy’s sister. Would love to exchange any family history we can.

So this was obviously the twin of Harold Shaw Powell whose death certificate I found for 1918, showing the same parents and saying he was a twin. I could never find the birth certificates. However I also found a Robert born to them in 1925 so did Robert Charles also die young???

It's a distant relationship so I find most information online, This is the relationship to my Wife Linda Buxton:

Relation of Robert Charles Powell to Linda Fay Buxton, [*]: 3rd cousin once removed
Here's how:
1. Bessie Florence Powell, ^ is the mother of Robert Charles Powell
2. Elizabeth Jane McNulty, ^? is the mother of Bessie Florence Powell, ^
3. James Henry Shaw, ^ is the father of Elizabeth Jane McNulty, ^?
4. Joseph Shaw, [*]^ is a brother of James Henry Shaw, ^
5. Elizabeth May Phillips, [*]^ is a daughter of Joseph Shaw, [*]^
6. Anna Pearl Norman, [*]^ is a daughter of Elizabeth May Phillips, [*]^
7. Lily May Buxton, [*] is a daughter of Anna Pearl Norman, [*]^
8. Linda Fay Buxton, [*] is a daughter of Lily May Buxton, [*]

To restrict my tree to being manageable, I'm only adding relatives that share DNA with my daughter, so I don't have his sister but would be interested in anything about the descendents of Percy & Bessie McNulty (for which I have heaps of info about ancestors).

So your ancestor information is Bessie’s side of the family, not the Powell’s. Is that right?
