Powell, Edward Frodsham

Chester, Cheshire and Liverpool, Lancashire; upholsterer and cabinet maker (fl. 1824–35)

Made a freeman of Chester on 23 October 1824. He entered into partnership with William Podmore and Thomas John Powell, as upholsterers, until the business was dissolved in June 1829. 

In March 1829 Edward was appointed an agent to the Palladium Life and Fire Assurance Society of London, but he may have continued to live and trade in Chester for a time. 

By 1835 he was in Liverpool trading as an upholsterer and cabinet maker from 55 Bold Street. In 1837 the number had changed to 60 and in 1839 he had relocated to 172 Bold Street [Freemen rolls; Chester Chronicle, 27 March 1829, 26 June 1829].
