I now know Florence's details are Florence Vida Botsford but still unsure whether she married in Portland, Oregon or Sacramento/San Francisco, CA

Thanks Shellyesq for the suggestions.   Since my  original posting I have found that Dr Henry D'arcy Power left San Francisco in 1923 and spent 10 years in Germany before returning to the UK where he died in 1939. Whilst in Germany he "married" wife number 5.  Dr Power was not in touch with his 2nd wife, Christiana, or his children and Christiana remarried in 1918 believing him to be dead/officially missing.

I know from family papers left by Christiana that she and Dr Henry were not divorced.  Hence the fact that I would very much like to know if he did go through a marriage ceremony with wives 3, 4 and 5 and how he described his marital status on the certificate(s) if any.

Shellyesq - sorry typing error.  Florence did die in 1918.

United States of America / Marriage in Oregon or California
« on: Wednesday 02 February 11 16:09 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage of Dr Henry D'Arcy Power to Florence V. (surname unknown). Florence graduated from the Willamette  University Medical Department in Salem in 1893 but I am unsure if she was married at that time but it is most likely that she married in  1894 by which time she had moved to Sacramento.
She and her husband  later both had private practices in San Francisco.

Florence was born in 1868 in California and died in 1913 in San Francisco.  Henry D'Arcy Power was born in 1857 in Germany (British subject) and died in 1939 in England.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can access the list of the Willamette 1893 graduates?  Any help greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Stewart - I don't know if it helps in the search but all Richard Griffin Power's siblings were baptised in Catholic churches.

Hi Stewart,

Many thanks for your help so far.  Could it be that the record you found matches the following?

The father of Richard Griffin Power was Harris Power  a professional full-time soldier.  From c1803 to 1811 he was a Major in the Kings German Legion (formerly the Kings German Regiment).  I don't know what regiment(s)  he served in prior to 1803 but he was definitely a soldier and saw action in the Peninsular War. 

Richard Griffin Power married in 1848 in Surrey and on all the subequent UK censuses gives his place of birth as Jersey. 

The parents of Richard Griffin Power were Harris Power (English) and Joanna Antonia Lucia Millot (Nederlands).

Thanks again.

Ann

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Jersey Parish Records - Power
« on: Tuesday 23 November 10 15:54 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for the birth/baptism record for Richard Griffin Power probably 1802 but maybe as early as 1796.  Parish unknown.

Father Major Harris Power (English) and mother Joanna Antonia Lucia Millot (Nederlands).

Harris Power was a serving soldier  and  may well have been stationed at a garrison(s) in Jersey at the time.

Any information very gratefully received.
