    3. 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.
