Closest match on www.rootsireland.ie/ for Thomas baptism in Dungarvan RC is 1841 parents Michael Whelan and Honor Britt. Is this your Thomas? If so I can look for parents’ marriage & siblings.

Hi, I'm looking for any information on Power famly from waterford, my grandad was born John (Sean) Power in 1922, his mother's name was Margaret and he was put up for adoption where he went to Dublin and became John White. Would anyone have any information on this please?

Regarding Thomas Whelan above, was he born & baptized in Mabstown Parish/Waterford District - like his brothers? And do have a more specific date of birth/baptism than 1841? Thank you. Brien O‘Callaghan

Looks like John Phaelan (Whelan) b. 5 May 1840 is older brother of Thomas, Pete, Maurice Whelan. Any thoughts? And any spouses of these men? Brien O’C
