Herbert and Anne Phair were my great-great grandparents. Their shop in Cork is described variously as a tobacconists/chandler/publican. Their daughter Mary Anne married my great-grandfather John Alcock, the RIC officer mentioned in a previous post. John Alcock and his wife had 12 children. When he retired from the post of Sergeant of the RIC in Skibbereen he opened a haberdashery. The Anne Josephine (grand aunt Auntie Nan to us) was married to Christopher Croft, a chemist. They retired to Ireland. The headstone information is very interesting, as I never knew where they were buried.
