I am researching the Hayden and Bishop families from Tramore. Martin Hayden and Margaret Bishop had three boy's born between 1916 to 1922. For some reason the were sent to Greatisland to work on a farm
which was owned by the family of Margaret Bishop's mother Bridget Mary Power and they went to school there.
There are only 2 Power families listed in that area in the tithe books of 1824 Michael and Andrew and in the1901 census. 2 in Greatisland Margaret and Richard and 1 in Horeswood Partick. I am trying to trace any relatives. any information or tips would be welcomed.
I would imagine that anyone still living there would be related.

No - afraid not debu - I did check the RootsIreland indexes though as some returns for Duncannon (my hometown) are in the parish of St.James & Templetown, but found nothing.
Have you tried Griffiths Valuation of 1854 to establish the family in the area ?
