Have tried all the main big family history sites, even paid a researcher who did find my Gt Grandfather, who on enlisting 1853, stated his age as 24.5, and born in Barony, Lanarkshire. I cannot find his birth ANYWHERE.
I do know some of his Military background, in India, and that his Father was a Michael Power also. He married a Mary Ann Carroll in India 11 June 1862, St Thomas Mount. Haven't even started with Mary Ann as her birth is vague, 1847 but her father is a John Carroll.
Michael & Mary Ann had 3 children in India, Charles 1865 -1868, Michael 1867-1931 and Agnes who became a Nun, 1872
Any bright ideas will be gratefully received, from a First timer here!!
