mary jane power

[poochie]

My mother remembered an aunt of mary janes called sarah and it was her fathers sister so that may be the sarah who married james hemphill but again its a fact I cant confirm but mary jane continued to visit them till their death and because my mother was brought up in scotland, she never saw her gran (mary jane power/cooke) as often as she would have liked......
I just dont have many facts to go on which is why its so frustratin.....

There is my mums cousin who now runs the family farm in ireland and she is in her 80's..... I have written to her many times and only had 2 replies and she wanted to make sure I was who I said I was before givin me any details......
I had to confirm some things for her and then she asked me wat I wanted to know and since I sent request for info on mary jane power, the lady has not written back yet so I am hopin she does so soon coz I have been waitin 2mths already and I know she elderly so Im tryin to be patient.

I will come back with more details wen I get some but thanx for your time tonight...it has been much appreciated

I found a mary jane power born in limmerick in 1864 but again its not neccassarily the one Im lookin for but Im willin to try anythin to find the slightest hint......

Limerick is nowhere near Derry so I wouldn't think there's any connection at this point. If Mary Jane was born around 1864 her birth might not have been registered (apparently many early ones were not).

I know but like I say.....Im willin to try anythin to find even the slightest link or hint etc.....This is really frustratin coz its only mary janes family causin me headaches on mothers side......... and Im patiently waitin on elderly aunt from ireland replyin to letter in hope she has info which my mother thinks she does......

thanx so much fro bein helpful anyway and Im sorry if Im testin your patience as well

I can understand wanting to grab at any possible clues but you might end up researching a completely different Mary Jane Power. Fingers crossed that you soon get more information from aunt.
