I am trying to obtain some information about Henry Power, the father of the famous Irish monumental sculptor, Albert Power RHA sculptor 1881 - 1945. Albert Power was born at 8 Barrack Street [now Benburb Street], Dublin on 16th November 1881. His father was Henry Power, jeweller [maker and repairer of clocks and watches, including pocket watches]. It would be a great help if I could trace where Henry Power was born, his date of birth, and the names of his parents. Albert's mother was Mary Atkins from Dublin. Mary was an only daughter, but she had seven brothers. She was an embroiderer. When Albert was 2 years old, the family moved to 17 Ellis Quay. There was a shop premises beneath the living quarters. In 1893, Henry Power obtained possession of the shop, and he established a jeweller's there. The family continued to live above the shop. Albert Power attended the St Paul's C B S North Brunswick Street. The reason for my interest is that I had a granduncle, Henry Power, about whom I cannot trace any information other than his birth and baptism in Waterford in 1857. I have in my possession a gold pocket watch that was given to my father, also Henry Power, by his uncle at some stage in the late 1910s or during the 1920s. The coincidence of the name Henry Power and the fact that he was a jeweller [maker and repairer of clocks and watches, including pocket watches] drew my attention to Albert Power's father when I was recently reading a biography of Albert Power. Henry seems to have been a relatively unusual name in the Power family in the 1800s. I found, for example, that only one death of a Henry Power was registered in County Waterford [the home of thousands of persons by name Power] between the introduction of civil registration in Ireland in 1865 and the year 1900. Any information would be much appreciated. Dr Con Power [born at Gracedieu East, Waterford and now living in Dublin, Ireland]
