Bridget GREENE from Clare Castle
« on: Friday 19 December 14 02:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks,



My gg grandmother, Bridget Greene, was from Clare Castle, Clare Village and married there in 1851.

Could you please tell me if Clare Castle is an actual castle or the name of a suburb?

I have tried to find her DOB but no luck.

Regards
Steve

If I'm correctly reading the transcript you posted, his residence was Clare Castle, her residence was Clare Village.

"By 1837 there were three cavalry barracks on the site, affording accommodation for 17 officers and 234 men. This was then the main barracks for the county. At the height of the Terry Alt activities of 1831 there were 317 men and 137 women and children stationed here. The castle continued in use as a barracks until 1921."

Since Francis Heath was a soldier, would that not suggest a possibility he was stationed there?
