After years of research and many brick walls, I am looking for anyone who knows anyone with the last name Metcalf Power (they may go by either name or both together). My brick wall is at my great grandfather James A. Metcalf Power. What I do know is that he was born around 1875 possibly in Tilt Cove (according to one source) with connections to Nova Scotia (family lore). He married Mary Jane Barry b. 1880 in Red Island daughter of Michael Barry and Mary Agnes McCarthy. James and Mary Jane married in St. John’s on 14 Sept 1907. They had 9 children. Mary Jane died 1 May 1924 and James died 21 Feb 1926 both in St. John’s. Both are buried with the last name of Power. In various records they are listed as Metcalf’s with the following spellings: Metcaffe, Medcalf, Metcalfe, Metcalf. The family history of the name change is that James was orphaned at a young age OR that his mom remarried because his father passed away. In any case somehow over time the two surnames merged and I absolutely cannot find anything about this lineage prior to James A. Metcalf Power 1875-1926. If anyone can help, with names of possible siblings or parents of James would be greatly appreciated!
