Seeking descendants of James Power of Buckingham Place, d. Easter Rising 1916

Don't know - nothing distinctive, probably a labourer. My mother remembers only poverty, but James was dead by then.
Cheers,

I think that this reference is to the stonemason who carved the monument - James Power

No luck I'm afraid and tried Power / Powers / Powell / Dower / Pownell / Pownall etc

James Power killed one of the civilians

You sure the sentence is the right way round ?

sorry, James Power was one of the civilians killed in 1916, and not James Power killed one of the civilans.

So it looks like James Power of Buckingham St died as a result of action during the rebellion
Although he had a son James Power; this man and his family seem established in Dublin and could not be the man that travelled to Canada before 1918 but perhaps another son travelled and changed his first name; or a nephew of his is your James

From what I can see the James Power that died had at least eleven children
We can rule out his daughters, Mary Ann, Kathleen, Florence and Margaret!

James we have ruled out based on all stated before
Richard and John are still in Ireland in 1939 based on the elector register
Joseph b.1884 is not listed on the 1901 census with the family which you would expect and there is no obvious entry for him that I can see
This leave George b1870; Peter b1872; and Patrick b1880 as options

To check for a nephew you would need to go back a generation to James Power's parents and work back down
