I wonder if anyone could help me with this lady.
She was the first wife of a Francis Connor of Dromore, Newry, Co. Armagh according to Find a Grave.
I am not sure where she originates from but also, I am puzzled by the address - Newry is, I thought, in Co. Down. In 1854 when Francis Connor died his address is given as County Armagh, Northern Ireland and his Will was proved in Armagh. The parish where he was born and lived was, I believe (according to OH), Dromore. He was buried in St. Mary's Churchyard, Old Warrenpoint Road, Newry, Co. Armagh as were all the family - perhaps the names/boundaries have changed because Newry is, as far as I know, in Co. Down and I know the Churchyard and I would have said it was definitely in Co. Down.. Have I got this all wrong - was there a boundary change? I do know that the road they lived in was Down on one side and Armagh on the other but they described themselves as living in Down ........? They are described as one of the oldest families in Newry. Francis Connor is described as a publican in his Will but don't think he had a Pub as such but was a Spirit Merchant.
