Hi Lex I'm coming to Canberra for a meeting on Friday week - 7th - (meeting is on Saturday) and wondered, if I made the effort to get there a bit earlier, if we could possibly meet up and see if we can help each other in any way with our family history puzzles. Would you have any time free on that afternoon? cheers cynth Cynthia Kuiper Ph 9449 6855 Mob: 041 449 6855 ----- Original Message ---- From: Lex Foley <lexf@webone.com.au> To: aus-vic-western-district@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 11:04:46 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] David Power m Anne Pile Hello Cynthia, I am hoping that this is the David Power that also had the station "Cashmere" that was also part of that area. Sorry about this but I am doing this of the top of my head at the moment, I thought that they were brothers and that the Dr. ran a hospital out of a hut there. I had been chasing details a few years back of them and the one that I was looking for was married in South Australia and also had all or most of their children were born there. My gg-grndmother was Bridget Power who was married to a John Power and they had one son and several daughters. I dont know what happened to John or the son who was also called John, but the rest of the family came out to Australia, but not all at once. My g-grandmother Eliza and her sister Mary came out in 185? and from what I could find out it was stated that they were going to relations. Mary was married at Cashmere Station in 1853 and Eliza in 1854. Going on records David Power had sold Cashmere Station just prior to Mary and Eliza arriving and I have not found anything tying David in with the two girls but also haven't found anyone else that was related. The other thing is that they all converged and lived in the Coleraine area. My Powers came from Shanagovern, Limerick and I was in touch years ago with Kate Press who said that they may have worked for her grandfather in Ireland, but lost contact and didn't follow it up. I live in Canberra and from your phone number I take it that you are in Sydney, I am just hoping that we have a match as I would love to be able to tie them all together. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hello Cynthia, I will certainly make time and I welcome the chance to meet you. It will be good to discuss the "Powers" and hope that we will be able to find out more.. I will be at work tomorrow (Thursday) and will try and ring you sometime during the day.
