mary jane power
« on: Saturday 26 December 09 22:52 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for mary jane power  who was born 1876 in ballynelly in ireland and her fathers name was james power who was a labourer
Mary jane married james cooke in 1899 and her parents and other siblings apparently went to america a year or two after she married.

Can anyone help on links to find mary janes parents please..... I do have her marriage certificate but it only has her fathers name and states she was of full age at time..... wat does that mean?

thanx

'Full age' means that she was 21 years or older. Unfortunately only the father's name and occupation will appear on a marriage certificate but both parents should be listed on a birth certificate (unless child is illegitimate).
The 1901 census for Ireland is due to come online shortly and might show Mary Jane's family if they are still in Ireland.
Where did the Power family go to in America? Each state keeps its own vital records (births, marriages, deaths) and many of them list birthdates and places as well as parents' names on death certificates.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

There are lots of American records online but difficult without more details like names and ages and a location in U.S.

Was her father James or Samuel Power. Where exactly did the marriage take place?

Ellis Island has Alexander Power and Henry Power emigrating from Donegal in 1898 to their brother Samuel in Chicago
