Farra Agriculture School
I have just established that Farra Agriculture School was/is in Bunbrosna, Westmeath...according to Wikipedia.
I have a copy of my 2x Grandfather (Robert David Dagg) certificate of completion of being at the school for 2 years finishing in 1849.
For some reason I didn't think that the school was in Ireland. Don't know how I came to that conclusion!!
My 2x Grandfather married my 2x Grandmother (Lucinda Cathrine Wilson) in October 1849, the same year in Portnashangan.
According to "Wikipedia" it states that Farra Agriculture School was funded by Rev William Wilson's will and the school opened in 1743.
I have been searching for some time now as to my 2x Grandmothers Wilson family side with nothing to go on.
Is there any information about that Wilson family as I would love to have a break through especially if it is a connection of 2x Grandmother. Lucindas fathers name is Henry Wilson which is on her marriage certificate.
Henry's name is also on Valuation of Tenements in the Parish of Portnashangan , townland of Ballynagall and wondering could this be the same person.
Hope you can help.
