Trying to find Power, Thomas, and Henderson

I am searching for anything on Thomas Power born 1836 in Dublin who married Letitia Eliza born1839 in Meath and came to England.
They had Thomas (my grandfather who married Annie Maher born in 1871 in Ireland) in 1862 in Birkenhead
Mary, who married William Widdows and 2 of her children married Buchanans.Other siblings were Margaret 1868, Emma 1871, James 1873, Kathleen 1875, Michael 1877 and Letitia 1879 all born in Liverpool.
Thomas died in 1911 and there was a sister at the funeral called Mrs.Henderson who turns out to be Margaret, shown as widow Henderson in 1911 census.
Emma, James and Letitia didn't marry and were living at 96 Tweed St. Liverpool up to about 1945. Margaret (Maggie) was possibly there too, upstairs bedridden.
Kathleen is a mystery still, and Michael had a daughter Letitia Josephine born in 1907 who is the mother of Doreen M. Thomas born in 1931 who visited the Tweed St. home in the 1940's. There were relatives named Buchanon mentioned by my father living on Utting Ave, Liverpool in the 1940's. They were descendants of Mary Power and William Widdows. Their daughter and younger son both married into the Buchanan family. Hope someone has another clue for me.

I've discovered that there was another sibling, Mary Power. She married William Widdows and her daughter Margaret married a Buchanan.

Still looking for gaps in Power family of Liverpool UK. And their origins in Ireland.
Thomas Power was born in Dublin in 1836 and his wife Letitia (Lettice ! ) Coleman was from Meath, born about 1837 or earlier.
thanks. Anne.

Looking for Maher ancestors too.
My grandmother was Anna Maria Maher, born 1871 in Kildare, Ireland. her brother Charles was born in Liverpool in 1873.
She was known as Annie M. later. She married Thomas Power and they had Thomas C. who later went to Canada, Mary (Molly) my father James and Laurence Michael in 1906. Thomas was in the Liverpool Police.
Died 1911.
Any links? Anne.
