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.
