Oh I am with you now astral, yes I think Levi probably travelled with Thomas as his son Levi, junior was baptised at Iver, Buckinghamshire, in 1852, which is just up the road from Colnbrook where Lamentany was baptised a few years earlier. I have Levi, junior, also marrying into the Harris family, a Mary Ann Harris, on 17th July 1882 at Addlestone, Surrey, and the couple appear ‘in huts and tents’ stopped in a lane at Orpinton, Kent, on the 1901 census.

Hi,
Very late to the party but my connection to the Carey family is my Great Grandad who was Dangerfield Carey, son of Levi and Maryann Harris, son of Levi and Naomi (Fletcher?).

My nan was born in huts and tents in Green street Green, Kent.

Hi,
Firstly thank you for the information you have provided. Answering a few of your questions.
The fathers profession on Pierce Francis Powers marriage certificate is hard to read, but I believe it is a Chandler. I believe that a chandler is a candle maker. Pierce worked as a fireman aboard Merchant vessels all his life.

Regarding the application it is from the national archives of Ireland.

Date of receipt: 12.10.21
Extract from Census return of 1851
Name of applicant: Pierce F Power (1854 1855)
Address: 56 Cotton Street, Poplar
Full name of Father and Mother of applicant: Patk and Margt Power
Residence 1851: Blank
The only other information written on the form is:
Birth certs of persons re no census > 1851

I'm not sure if Pierce wanted his birth certificate or he just wanted information on his parents. The link on the form takes me to the national Archives of Ireland, but there is no more information.

Regards Hannah

Waterford / Pierce Power 1853
« on: Saturday 21 December 24 09:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I am looking for information on my GG Grandfather Pierce Francis Power. He married in London in 1884 and his marriage certificate had his fathers name as Patrick Power occupation Chandler?.
The family has always believed that Pierce came from County Waterford. Pierce did make an application at some stage to find information on his parents who were listed as Patrick and Margaret Power.

Its only guess work but these are the records that I have found that seem to match.

Patricius Power married Margaritam Hurly 12 Nov 1843 Ballybricken, County Waterford.
I believe these to be Pierce's parents as the only baptism record I could find that matched Pierce was as follows:
Piercem F Power Bapt 4th Oct 1853 County Tipperary, Parents Pat Power and Margaret Hurly.

Also found a sister I believe for Pierce-
Mariam C Power born 1850

Any information on any of the above persons would be gratefully received as we are really in the dark about our Irish ancestors and would so love to know more.
