Thanks so much for the link to Catherine’s will, Len. I couldn’t find any evidence that she was related to me, other than the name Caldwell and the Omagh location. She was also Church of Ireland and my GG parents were Presbyterians. I’m not sure how significant that was in those days as it may have been a question of which church was closer or which minister was preferred.
This article has elicited much justified outrage from our group and I’m very grateful to you, Juliette, and Jim for publishing it in its entirety.
