Note on Wife: Frances VIGORS - shared note

Names of siblings from tree of Connor Thomas of Adelaide, Australia May 2001. Year of birth is a guesstimate based on her being 18 when married in 1760. The children are listed with males first so the birth order is unclear. In the list of protestants in the parishes of Clone Kilbride and Ferns made by the Rev Samuel Hayden on 16 May 1776 she is stated to be aged 30-40. Marriage Licence 12/7/1760 (Ferns diocesan registers) of Ballycornick, Carlow, Ireland. Will (22 Oct 1798) is of Frances Richards of Old Leighlin, Carlow; widow.
