Thank you John for your expert search. I've got no excuses, except I went with the online search engines on Ancestry and failed. My current double vision one eye isn't helping, but no excuse. Operation 1st August. As this family is not mine, I'm just trying to help others, as I mentioned earlier, I am not spending dosh on it, just time and the wonderful expertise that these Lists have on board. I am on FMP, but did not obviously not press the right button. If I may also ask, I did look at The British Newspaper Archives this morning before the specialist's visit and although I could see numerous articles about Rev. James Power of Liverpool, Crossens etc., my endeavours to access the articles stated my password was wrong, so I tried three times, then emailed the Company with my dilemma. I have not as yet heard back, but if anyone is reading this and has a subscription to these Newspaper Archives within the time span of 1830-1852 and can see these articles indexed, which were contained on one page, any small link may tell me just where he was around 1827. From the little I could read, he was a well respected Minister in his community and died suddenly.........and of course, I may be chasing geese. But at present, he is of the right name and age and a Clerk. I shall mention the Will to those in N.S.W. and hope it leads to something positive. Again thank you John.......I hope everyone reads your suggestions..... Cheers, Robyn --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

An article from the Chester Chronicle in 1850 relating to the North and South Wales Bank mentions James Power, Crossens Parsonage, Clerk.   Another from the York Herald, Jan 30th 1869 is a BMD reference to Sarah, Relict of the Rev James Power of Crossens Parsonage.  Sarah died 19th inst (i.e 19th Jan) at Liverpool. In 1835 there is a reference in the Belfast News-Letter to a Rev James Power A.M. for the Diocese of Dublin being admitted to holy orders to the order of Priest by the Lord Bishop of Kildare. In 1839 there is a reference to a Rev James Power attending a meeting of the Trinitarian Bible Society in Warrington.   However around this time there are also references to a Rev James Power who was clearly active in the parishes of Kill and Newton in the Waterford Diocese of Ireland.   Clearly there are two Rev James Powers around this time, one in Ireland, the other in Lancashire. Going back a bit there is a 1816 article that refers to a Rev James Power, sub-deacon of the church of Rome and late monk of the order of Le Trappe who "abjured the errors of the church of Rome" and was admitted to the established church of England and Ireland at Blandford church by the Bishop of Bristol.   I mention this one for completeness, not because he is obviously connected with the others. May 1841 the Liverpool Mercury shows the marriage at Christ Church of the Rev James Power of Crossens to Sarah, the youngest daughter if Mr Bromfield  of Trinity Place, (Liverpool) Jan 2 1852 the Liverpool Mercury sees the death on 9 Jan at Crossens parsonage of the Rev James Power, Incumbent. The May 15 1888 Manchester Courier records a memorial at St Johns Church, Crossens to the late Rev James Power,M.A. former Vicar.   It is a stained glass window with the cost derayed by Miss Power, the only surviving daughter of the late clergyman".   It mentions that he became Vicar of Crossens on his resignation of Vicar of Padgate near Warrington. As an aside I see the Rev Christopher Barrow mentioned in connection with the Warwick and Leamington Church Union in December 1849.   In January 1857 a Rev Christopher Barrow, rector of Barwell in Leicestershire married Charlotte Frederica, daur of Charles Brandt.
