My Great, Great, Great Grandfather Jeffrey Power (born about 1780) and his brother Nicholas (born about 1782) settled Herring Cove after coming from Newfoundland (Power's Cove) about 1800-1803. In 1812 he purchased the Power Homestead (two lots) for the sum of 12 pounds. I have a void on info from 1800 till 1838. I also would like info on Nicholas and his linage.
Thanks for listening,

Hi Ken,
I am working on the Powers line from Nova Scotia also.
I am interested in a William Power/s m. to a Jane Fitzgerald arount 1840 (maybe they were not married?)
they had a son Charles b. 1843 in Halifax NS who m. Isabel Glazebrook any info would be great..

my great grandfather frederick had a brother william born aug4..1844 ..they were the children of maurice & mary darrah power .. along with one sister and four more brothers
betty-ann

I have Geoffrey (Jeffrey Jr.) married to Jane Fitzgerald with a Mary Ann m. Hugh Monroe, Charles H m. Isabell Glazebrook, John m. Catherine Munroe,Jeffrey, Archibauld and William 1844

Hi Ken

The death certificate I have has a William Power and Jane Fitzgerald having a child named Charles H Power( married to a Isabel Glazebrook) he was born in Halifax around 1841. There may have been some hankie pankie going on. If you have any more info please let me know

That makes sence as I had a Jeffrey Jr. married to Jane Fitzgerald. The dates for Jeffrey were off. I just found a Jeffrey Power with a daughter Catherine baptized 8 Dec. 1829 but no mention of a wife. Let's keep digging. your theory could be right also.

During your research on the Powers line from Nova Scotia, have you come across a Clarence Vincent Powers? I have his birth date as Nov 6/1896 in Halifax. he was my grandfather and I am unable to find any information on him. A lot of his relatives were supposedly killied in the Halifax Explosion(1917?). Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Vic

Sorry, I do not have any info to help you
