The Rev. John Power of Thurleigh needs to find his wife

[ahoneybun]

Hi,

My 8th Great Grandfather the Rev. John Power, b. abt 1638, d. 1705, Thurleigh, Bedfordshire is feeling lonely and needs a wife!

Seriously! I have been unable to trace who he married. I also suspect that he married twice.

The details I have are that he may have married abt 1663 in Thurleigh.

I have traced 7 children through Familysearch Christenings:

Susanne Power 1664, Thurleigh. m. 1686, Joseph Bassett
    
Rev. John Power b. 1665, Thurleigh, d. 1731, Thurleigh
    
Ann Power b. 1666,Thurleigh
    
Mary Power , b. 1667, Thurleigh
    
Thomas Power b. Aug 1670, Thurleigh, d. Aug 1670, Thurleigh
    
Ann Power b. abt 1671-1672, Thurleigh,

Richard Power b. 1674, Thurleigh


He was the Vicar of St. Peter's Church - Thurleigh from 1665 - 1705 and his son John took over the "job" and was the Vicar from 1705 until 1731.

I would be grateful to get some clues to his marriage/s and also descendants.

He could have married in Sharnbrook

Marriages normally took place in the parish of the bride.

The Sharnbrook parish records transcript confirms the marriage Rosie found on the IGI but there is no further details. There was only one other Power name in the Sharnbrook PRs and that is marriage of Alice Powers to Thomas Brett on 14 Nov 1664
