Waterford Power family (1840s-1910s)

[JDJames89]

I’m hoping someone might be able to help me learn a bit more about a specific Power family in Waterford. I’m looking for more information for four siblings I’ve located in the 1901 and 1911 Irish census:

James Power (born abt 1841 –)
Jenett “Janes” Power (born abt 1842)
Patrick Power (born abt 1844)
John Power (born abt 1846 – died in 1907)

According to anecdotal family resources, their father’s name was Michael Power. I would really like to find some evidence of their births or their mother’s names. The three sons were alive and listed as farmers on the 1901 census in Carnglass. Patrick was still alive and living with a nephew in 1911 in Carnglass. John died in 1907. I cannot find any sign of James. The sister married a man named Patrick Callaghan and was still alive as of 1901 and living in Clashnamrock. I cannot locate her after this. I know the siblings were all Roman Catholic, spoke Irish and were unable to read or write. I would really like to find out what the siblings’ parents names were for certain and any other record for the four of them during their lifetime as I know very little about them, or if there are any other concrete siblings I could research in to.

Yes, dathai. Those are the records I have so far for these guys. aghadower, I was not aware of this collection so thank you for the link. I've started slowly going through the scanned images but have a lot of work to do.

I think that Jane/Janet POWER m Patrick CALLIHAN on Feb 13 1866 LINK to church records
although the writing is difficult to distinguish and the groom's surname looks incorrect!
This ties in with the census returns and children's baptisms but would require further confirmation

I don't see immediate births for the POWERS in the 1840s but unfortunately the records from that time are scarce

Thank you for the help. I'm sorry that I haven't been faster to reply.

My grandmother had some of these names written down but it is wonderful to see the actual records firsthand and to know where to look for more.
