Gender
Female

Margaret Laffan married Thomas Kennedy [Royal Artillery] at St Mary's Cathedral [RC] in Shandon, Cork City in February 1860. Margaret & Thomas left for India not long after that.

They had 2 daughters in Belgaum, near Bombay, in 1863 & 65, & Margaret sadly died a few years later. Her husband returned to Ireland because of ill heath & died in 1875.

So Margaret & Thomas Kennedy's 2 daughters were left in the care of an orphanage in India, both later marrying, with many descendants, one being me.

I have traced Margaret Laffan's parents as possibly being John Laffan, church warden at St Anne's [COI] & Mary Ready, they married in Tipperary.

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
