Roscommon / Re: Winifred Conboy Fairbrother daughter of thomas and honor
« on: Sunday 02 October 11 06:09 BST (UK) »
HI there. Am great grand daughter of Winifred and Richard. My brother still lives on the farm purchased by Winifred after Richard died. Richard was actually FIRST mayor of Carterton. I have been to the barracks where Richard trained in 49th Regiment, and to Dalefield House where we suspect he met Winifred. I have also been to the site of the church you mention (Kilkeevan) which no longer exists. I am intrigued by your information "that ran away together". Can you tell me the source of this exact information. I have done much research and have not been able to establish this and from the information I have I don't believe this to be correct. From information we have it is uncertain whether Winifred was 13 or 15 when they married. They did not have children straight away. Look forward to hearing from you. Are you family.
