Power of Co.Galway

Edward De La Poer's wife Frances Mary Croker has an exotic family tree.
She descends through nobility from Power of Co.Galway.
"Power" and "Le Poer" and "de la Poer" were already in use as middle names in her family before he married her (see her brothers' middle names).
This might be what made Edward Power change his name to "De La Poer".
