AN IRISH BREACH of PROMISE CASE. A breach of promise of marriage case was tried at Dublin, on Friday, before Baron Fitzgerald and a special jury, the plaintiff being a Dublin boarding-house keeper named Tallon, and the defendant a young man named Thomas Hassard, a person of good position, connected with an old county family in Fermanagh:â�� In 1860 the defendant went to live at the plaintiff's boarding house, and formed an acquaintance with one of the plaintiff's daughters, Esther Mary. In March the defendant promised her marriage, but his conduct showed that he never intended to fulfil that engagement. In November last, while the present action was pending, he forced his way into the plaintiff's house, and con- ducted himself in a most extraordinary manner. At one time be pretended to be a maniac, and cut the strangest pranks and capers in the house, and then declared there was no necessity to bring the action, as he would marry the girl, and settle£ 200, a year upon her; and then, after a pause, asserted, "1 have married another woman, and can't marry her." Finally he left the house, saying he would put on a red coat and go off to India. Subsequently he sent a message by a Captain Burke that he would marry her and afterwards, at the time he was instructing his solicitor to prepare his defence, he sent a valen- tine containing some very pathetic rhymes about constancy, upon the truth of which the plaintiff's daughter placed no credit. The defence was that Hansard was a wild, uncertain fellow, who never knew his own mind, and had a. habit of courting almost every girl he met. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff-damages, £300. 9th July 1864 The Aberystwith Observer --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Anne, Could they possibly be descended from the Armstrong family of the area around Howick in Huron County, Ontario?  The first Armstrong I know of in that family was William but he had many descendants named John and one Isabella (who married a Weir ancestor of mine).

One thing that bugs me with Ancestry is that there are two Irelands!! If looking for something one has to search 'Ireland' collection and then the 'UK and Ireland' collection! Then some stuff is under 'Histoical' collection.... Plus it is too top heavy and could easily go wrong at anytime.. it's full of stuff that can be found free elsewhere e.g 1901 and 1911 Census, Griffiths, Tithes etc etc and so on that Search returns often become useless. What do people need? Stuff that can't be found elsewhere! Often less is more!

Hi, Marge, I subscribed to FindMyPast because of their extensive newspaper coverage. I had a trial subscription, but I found so many of my family in the Liverpool area that I could not give it up. I even found a coroner's report giving cause of death of my great great grandfather, precious information.
