I also know that Henry and his brother John attended the Fermanagh Charter School, (ie charity school), Henry was sponsored by the Venerable Archdeacon Russell, (who I think was from Limerick), his brother by the Bishop of Derry. They were listed as coming from 'Ardbraccan', a place in County Meath, so I assume the family had moved there by the late 1850s.

His family home in Wimbledon, Surrey, was also called 'Ardbraccan'.

In one UK census, he gives his place of birth as Queen's County, and in another as King's County.

    A Teltown Marriage

    <p>Irish historian John O'Donovan (1806-1861) who surveyed this district in the 1830s wrote of the 'Teltown Marriages':</p> <p>"A number of young men went into the hollow to the north side of the wall, and an equal number of marriageable young women to the south side of the wall which was so high as to prevent them from seeing the men; one of the women put her hand thro' the hole in the gate and a man took hold of it from the other side, being guided in his choice only by the appearance of the hand. The two were thus joined hands by blind chance were obliged to live together for a year and a day, at the expiration of which time they appeared at the Rath of Telton and if they were not satisfied with each other they obtained a deed of separation and were entitled to go to Laganeeny again to try their good fortune for the ensuing year."</p> <p>According to O’Donovan, this ceremony was performed at a place close to the Knockauns known as Lag an Aonaich or “Leganeeny” (the Hollow of the Fair).</p>
