James Power was born 20.4.25, I believe in Waterford and moved to England in the 1950's. His mother Anastasia was born in 1889, and died 3.2.66. Her funeral was in Shanbough, New Ross, Co. Kilkenny. Does anyone know how I can find records on Genes Reunited?

Thanks Reggie. I'm afraid I don't know Anastasia's maiden name, just that she was married to John Power and had a son James and daughter Catherine (or Kathleen).
All I have is a copy of a card from the parish of New Ross for her death in 1966. I was hoping I would be able to research later censuses and marriage/birth records to give me a clue.
