Is he the "George H T Powys, formerly a clerk at the bank of England" in the 1881 census? Looks very likely as the age is right. If so he had a three sons and two daughters all around the age of 20 with him then, plus his wife.

In 1841 this was almost certainly him with his first wife, but with no children:
