Hi again Sharon

More wonderful stuff!

I think you should perhaps edit the title of this thread, though - the Tregillgas family is from Cornwall; it is the Power family that came from Labasheeda. Jennie Frances Tregillgas nee Power and her husband and five sons appear in the photograph at http://members.pcug.org.au/~tregill/grandp.jpg

Jennie's mother Bridget Power née Frost appears in a Frost pedigree at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... frosts.htm

I'm also not sure about the link to the Rea family. There are three Limerick-born Rea children living with Bridget in the 1911 census at Erribul: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/p ... ul/362728/
The census form describes them as nieces and nephew to Bridget, but their ages suggest that they may be grandchildren.

These looks like the birth of the oldest child:

Name: Patrick James Ray
Registration district: Limerick
Record type: BIRTHS
Registration date - quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1896
Estimated birth year:

Mother's surnames:

Furthermore, this looks like their parents' marriage:

Name: Patrick J Rea
Registration district: Limerick
Record type: MARRIAGES

Estimated birth year:
Age:
Mother's surnames:

Name: Elizabeth F Power
Registration district: Limerick
Record type: MARRIAGES
Registration date - quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1895
Estimated birth year:

And I suspect that these are the parents' deaths:

Name: Patrick J Rea
Registration district: Limerick
Record type: DEATHS
Registration date - quarter and year: Jan - Mar 1943
Estimated birth year: 1863
Age: 80

Name: Elizabeth Rea
Registration district: Limerick
Record type: DEATHS
Registration date - quarter and year: Jan - Mar 1909
Estimated birth year: 1876
Age: 33
Mother's surnames:
Film number: 0101604

Elizabeth F is not to be confused with her older sister Ellie (really Ellen) whose birth is at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/ ... 0150241856
and whose burial is at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... rname4.htm with photograph at http://foto.clarelibrary.ie/fotoweb/Gri ... mit=Search...

Her death a couple of years before the 1911 census might explain why her children were living with their grandmother.

Mrs Tregillgas is probably the oldest of the 15 Power children, born just before civil registration, as I cannot find her in the IGI.
