Norah Emily Gorman Power

[Forfarian]

According to the 1871, 1881, 1901 and 1911 censuses, Norah Emily Gorman Power was born in London, and as her age was successively 3, 13, 33 and 43 it appears that she was born in 1867 or 1868. Her father was Sir William James Tyrone Power and her mother was Martha Moorhead. Some of her siblings were born in Ireland, but I cannot find a birth or baptism for Norah in either London or Ireland.

I have all the necessary information about her marriage, husband and children; it's only her birth and baptism that I am missing.

Looks like she was baptised on the 11th June,but the birth date in the margin says 15th May 1867.

Still can't find it in the BMD's though 

Her little sister is the only one of them that I can find?

Sorry - I am struggling with a very poor connection today - had just edited to add the birthdates when it went again

Thanks, Carole, that's her OK. Much appreciated.

I wonder why there's no birth certificate? (not that I expect an answer to that - it's a rhetorical question!)

BTW I have found her in 1891, staying in deepest Inverness-shire (no idea why!) with Kate Terry Lewis, niece of Ellen Terry and later mother of Sir John, Val and Lewis Gielgud.
