Cathy, Although I dont have a connection to Connaught, Thanks anyhow for posting the newspaper articles. One thing which confuses me are the birth notices. In the vast majority of cases, the notice will state, wife of whoever etc but once in a blue moon, I have noticed, Lady of whoever etc. Does this use of the word Lady, indicate they were not married?
