The following information was provided by Martin Mitchell via the message forum:
My gt.-gt.-gt.-grandfather John Powell came from Wales in about 1775 and took on the Full Moon, with his wife Jane née Evans. Their eight children were born there. John Powell died 24 Aug 1791, and was buried at St John the Baptist in the same grave as his infant daughter Ann who died a week earlier.  His widow carried on the business, but died 2 Sep 1807, presumably relinquishing the business not long before her death.  Parish Register entries apart, my info comes from a grandson of theirs (my gt.-gt.-uncle), a County Court Judge and sometime MP for Gloucester, John Joseph Powell (1816-1891).
