JUST found out my g-g-grands were married in this town in 1857. Suggestions for finding information about them and/or their families of origin?
THANK YOU!

Planning a visit August 4,5,6 this year (2024)
What town is this your post does not mention same, do you have any other information? Even the smallest detail helps.
Ann Marie and Eileen,
On RootsIreland (paid subscription), they were married in Kilgobinet, Waterford on February 22, 1857.
Regards- Mary
Eileen,
Per RootsIreland, they had at least two children- Margaret 1856 and James 1862, both born in KILROSSANTY, Waterford.
Regards- Mary
Eileen,
There is a tree on Ancestry that suggest that Patrick died in January 1884 in Ballykerogue, Kilrossanty, Waterford, Ireland at age 64. I found the death record on Irishgenealogy (free website).

Ballykeroge Little Townland, Co. Waterford (townlands.ie)
Ballykeroge Big Townland, Co. Waterford (townlands.ie)
Per RootsIreland, Patrick and Brigid had other children in Ballykeroge, Kilrossanty, Kilmacthomas, Waterford, Ireland. Mother's name was Caine/ Kane- John 1864, Edmond 1868, James 1870, and Anastasia 1872.
Regard- Mary
In 1851, there were Powers living in Ballykeroge, as shown in Griffith's Valuation:

Note there's an Anastasia Power listed in Griffith's. It's of interest that Patrick had a daughter Anastasia; perhaps the one in Griffith's was his mother?
In 1820 in the Tithe Applotment Books there were Powers living in Ballykerogue:

THANK YOU, Eileen, Mary and Patricia!
All these pieces are helpful in solving the puzzle the Power/s family has left us. Four of the children of Brigid Keane/Cane/Kane and Patrick Power immigrated in the 1890s to New York. (Richard, John, James, Anastasia). John was my g-grandfather. He married a girl from Tipperary in St. Patricks Cathedral 1898. Found her in the church in Newcastle, and her home in Rossmore (well, the house had been demolished and replaced by a utility pole).
Am looking forward to a short August visit in Ballykerogue/Kilrossanty/Kilmacthomas area (provided the Aer Lingus pilots are satisfied with negotiated benefits).
Our family appreciates your work! Thank you!
HOpe you have a good summer!

This site and group of volunteers was very helpful to us! The finishing touch was meeting Katie Dee, blogger of Kilrossanty Remembers. She took us to the townland (Ballykerogue Little and Big) to walk the beautiful turf that the Power family left in the 1890s. So hard to imagine leaving such a beautiful spot! Of course, we had the restaurants of Dungarvan and they had to farm their food! We are grateful to you all- and look forward to our next over pond adventure as we chase those brick walls in Ireland! (Kane/O'Day/Sugrue/Shea/Sheridan/Fahey/Lynch/Martin/Houlihan/Keliher)!
Best wishes for a great summer!
