LDS Vital records
:
On 9 March 1814, in Clun Shropshire, a James Powys was christened, mother Elinor Powys, father not entered.  Might this be her?  There are two other candidates for this Elinor.
On 25 Jan 1823 also in Clun, Shropshire, an Elizabeth Powys was born to John Powys and Betsy.  There is also an Elizabeth who appears in the 1881 census in Rickmansworth, born in Shropshire.
On 10 November 1844, again in Clun Shropshire, a Mary Powys was born to John Powys and Jane.  I think these three births must be relations, somehow.

Oswald Barron, in his VCH genealogy volume for Northants, calls here Helena.  As yet I have found no records to support this.

Their children are, from a search for baptisms from 1801 to 1821 on Ancestry with the surname of Stopford and parents’ forenames of Richard and Eleanor:
