Thanks so much Margaret,Debra and Gerry ,this has been greatly appreciated,the resemblance is uncanny to say the least,just to think if one of the hatfields had shot my grandfather in a mortal way,I for one wouldn't be here.My aunty (who passed away some years ago)was doing the family history and she allowed me to photocopy all of which she had,I have a copy of Thomas Power's marriage and a letter from the 1970's from N.S.W. police giving all information about my grandfather that was on file with them.He died on the 25th March 1884.
I have noticed in one particular case from the QLD police in honouring a murdered Police Officer (Beresford) by Aborigines pronouncing my grandfather's name(in the story) as Powell instead of Power,this frustrates anyone doing research for a particular person as it throws them off the trail,they for one should get it right.

Again thank you all for your help.
