    I've found so much information through this, most very surprising - both happy and terribly sad.

    Had a great Sunday finding out about the errant great grandfather. From being a burgess in Dublin he went on to be being prosecuted for selling illicit ham! Yes, and it was serious enough that he got fined £10 with £7 costs! Ham was not to be trifled with back in the 1890s.
