I did find another possible sister for Philip Jr. Johanna Power, in Tramore court records. Same townland, Cullencastle, but nothing more to connect her. I have heard of the "robber' I don't know if he was a relative or not, I like to think maybe...Thanks for writing.<br />EllieElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597553254090967849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242187022431135161.post-77230137053193611612016-04-04T08:02:56.937-04:002016-04-04T08:02:56.937-04:00Hi Ellie,

I come from Ardmore further to the west along the Waterford coast but have lived here in Australia since arriving as a young man in 1964. As you will have discovered Power is a very well known name in our area, in fact the eastern portion of the county was known as 'Paorach' or Power's country because the old family of Le Paor were granted that territory after the Norman invasion in the C12. The Le Paor family eventually Gaelicised themselves and became known as 'de Paor' in the Irish language.<br /><br />I don't know much about the name Crotty except that local history tells of a highwayman who had a hideout in the Comeragh Mts and was known as 'Crotty the Robber'. A 'Robin Hood' figure in local folklore, he was eventually betrayed by a follower and hanged. Chris Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373276040963635716noreply@blogger.com
