The Michael Powers who was living in Buffalo in 1900 was born Sept 1822 in Ireland. My Michael Powers was born in Ireland about 1801. The names (Margaret with parents Michael and Mary) and locations (Ireland and Wentworth*, Canada) are tantalizingly close, but the ages miss the mark by a wide margin (except for the marriage record below).
