Rees family, Westport

[DympJoyce]

NessaF

I grew up in Westport, and I can recall my parents telling me that Rees lived in "Cherry Cottage" which is in Rosbeg.  It is a beautiful house still.  I think it may have operated as  a Guest House once.  Next time I am out that way I will take a photograph for you.

I have been to "Holy Trinity Cemetery" but have not noticed any headstone for Rees there. Its a very small cemetery quite near to the Church Of Ireland.

If I come across anything I will let you know

In the new Westport Church of Ireland cemetery, taken from Memorials of the Dead by the author. It is the only reference to this family by the author. By the way the 1901 census is now online. The Valuation Office Revision Lists will assist in when the family moved to Cherry Cottage. The Westport Church of Ireland Registers would also be useful as would newspapers covering the various dates of death
