Hello Marina and welcome to the Community Boards. :-)



I'll let Marina know that she has replies to her query.

This may be worth checking out - RootsIreland are throwing up a parish record match for Michael Power to Ellen Power, but you need credits to view the record on that site.

From civil registrations:

Michael Power
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1879
Registration District: Waterford
Volume: 4
Page Number: 391
FHL Film Number: 101253
Records on Page: Name
Ellen Power xxx
John Joseph Cook
Eleanor Mary Flemming
Edward O'Connor
Mary Kiely
Ellen Paver
Michael Paver
John Joseph Cork
John Foran
Catherine Hurley
Michael Power xxx

Not sure if relevant but look at Michael & Ellen Paver - seems a bit odd.

According to 1911 census, they had been married 31 years - so c1880. Michael is named as head of household on the additional pages, but is obviously not at home on the night of the census. I don't know why she has been transcribed as Ellen Michael - it is just Ellen on the image.

Problem with this is there are several marriages of a Michael Power to an Ellen

this is a birth for a Mary, but the age is out with the Mary in 1901.

and in any case parents are not of the right ages.

You will need a birth cert for one of the children you are sure of to get mother's maiden name.
