There are 2 Powell farms in that Newport area that would have qualified.  One was in Derryleigh townland, the other in Annaholty townland.  Both were essentially owned by James Powell and his wife Charlotte.  James died in 1900, Charlotte in 1899.  Annaholty then was the home of James son, James, and his 2nd wife, Catherine Mulcahy.  It is still occupied today by his great grandson.  Derryleigh was where James Sr lived for most of his married life with Charlotte, but today is occupied by a great nephew of James, Baden Powell.  The house in Derryleigh basically sat unoccupied following the death of Charlotte, though the acreage was farmed by the family, until Baden's father took it over in the early 1930s.  I'm guessing, just based on proximity to Castleconnell, you want the farm in Annaholty.  It was close enough to the Castleconnell area that Henry, the son of James Powell and Catherine Mulcahy used to walk the distance, and was in fact killed when he was trying to cross the road there at Daly's Cross.

The farm in Annaholty was actually originally owned by the father of Charlotte Keays Powell, Thomas Keays.  Following Thomas' death in 1892, the property went to his son, George Keays, but when George then died in 1896, it became the property of George's widow, Maria Ardill Keays.  Maria remarried, to James Powell in 1897, but she died in 1899, leaving James with the property.  Given that Thomas Keays was the maternal grandfather of James Powell though, I guess you could say it was still all in the family.

Have you tried just putting his name in and Searching?

C Reg Births only start 1864

Yeah I have tried just his name, tried Ireland and England as well. 1901 census says he and his brother John were born in England but I have found a birth record in Ireland for John...so doesnt make any sense. The key piece of information is that his father John was a shoemaker.

?

His father was Jacob.

Like for all of us  records run out eventually....   

If I remember correctly yours were C of I, registers of which are "in the pipeline" to be put online..

Also, Civil Reg don't have Images for the years you need  these are "in the pipeline" to be put online..

So you haven't hit a brickwall, just a blocked pipeline!   

Now that you know How to Search, you'll be able to Search as and when they get updated.
