James Power was born in about 1811 to parents Antonium Power and Eleanor Cotton.  The family lived in the townland of Runnaruag, County of Roscommon.  Although I could find no record of James Power’s baptism record, most of his siblings were baptised in the Catholic Church, Diocese of Elphin, County Roscommon. 

James Power married Ellen Ferris on 22 Mar 1838 • St George, Bloomsbury, Camden, Middlesex, England.  They had three children - John Power, Catherine Sabina Power and Michael Eugene Power - all born in England. 

Ellen Ferris was born about 1819 at Ennis, County Clare Ireland - according to her passenger ship records.  She died on 4th August, 1869 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. 

James and Ellen migrated to Australia from London on the ship Una, arriving in New South Wales on the 22 Nov 1849.

    Tithe Applotment Survey of Elphin

    <p>Compiled in the 1820-30s, tythes were a form of local tax for occupiers of agricultural land. Anyone with a holding of land greater than 1 acre was obliged to pay tithes as maintenance for the Church of Ireland (then responsible for poor relief in the parish). The tithes were calculated on the average price of oats (the principal type of "corn" grown in this district at that time) for the 7 years ending in November 1821.</p>
