Recommendations

·        Martha Power, daughter of Hannah, granddaughter of Godfrey.  The marriage record for Martha Power found in the BMD Index needs to be located.  I will start by searching in the FHL catalogue, place search for Liverpool, Lancashire, England.  Another option is to order the marriage certificate from the General Register Office.[19]
·        Martha Power.  I found an index to a marriage of a Martha Power in 1865 in Liverpool, Lancashire at Findmypast.com.[20]  Another marriage on the index for Martha Power in Barton upon Irwell, Lancashire for 1866.[21]  Martha’s parents were married in 1846 and her christening date is Feb 20 1848 so a marriage in the years of 1865 or 1866 could be feasible especially since Lancashire County is just north and West of Derbyshire county where Martha grew up.
·        Eliza Power, daughter of Hannah, granddaughter of Godfrey.  The marriage record for Eliza Power to John James Barker found in the BMD needs to be located to verify this is the correct family and to determine any possible relationship between her uncle John James Barker and her husband John James Barker.[22]  Before ordering the marriage record I will try and locate one in the church registers. FHL British Fiche #6905205 which includes extracted information from the Parish registers and bishops transcripts for Heage and Duffield marriages during the years 1847-1897 should be consulted. Eliza Power.  I found an index to a marriage of Eliza Powers to a John James Barker sometime during July-Sep 1876.[23]  This record looks like a good fit but will still need to be verified.  It is interesting to note her husband’s name is the same as her uncle.
·        Martha Power, daughter of Hannah.  I found a death record in the Freebmd index for a Martha Power, dying at age 17 in 1865.[24]   She was christened in 1848 so this could be the right record but it needs to be requested to verify.  Also, finding the family in the census records could help shed some light on the subject as well.
·        Eliza Power, daughter of Hannah.  Eliza married John James Barker.  She was living in South Normanton, Nottinghamshire with her husband and her four youngest children. I found two possible death records for Eliza in Nottinghamshire.  An Elizabeth Barker died in 1919  and an Eliza A Barker died in 1930.[25]  Both these records require further research to see if one of the them is the Eliza Power Barker in this family.
