• Notes

  Re: 2nd Marriage date to Catherine (Kate) Allen: the record shows 1873, but Charles' first wife did not die until 1874, therefore I believe the year of the 2nd marriage was 1875. Excerpt from letter by George Brett to his brother John 23 Feb 1876 "... Very respectable people at his marrying. I have to let you [k]now that Charles of Achonry's first wife died, leaving two children, boy & a girl. He got married again to John Allen of Rathbarrons youngest daughter & got two hundred pounds with her. They live very stylish. He improved his house & place very much."
