    3. Below is an extract from Anglo-Celt. I'm trying to find details of Robert Fannin (wife's name, or children's names) to show whether he is 'my' Robert. I've been unable to find any list of deaths/burials or gravestones which might give me this information. Can anyone help? I am assuming that Killmullen (mentioned in the article) is the same Killymullen (or Killymullin) which shows on some family documents. Thanks and cheers. ANGLO-CELT MAY 12, 1848 BELTURBET (From a Correspondent)--I regret to have to state, that a very melancholy and fatal accident occurred about two miles of this town, on Monday last. As Mr. Robert FANNIN, of Killmullen, his son and daughter and her infant child, was driving his horse and cart down the hill at Parsie schoolhouse, the horse ran away and Mr. FANNIN was violently thrown upon his head, which caused fracture of the skull. The Rev. A. M'CREIGHT, accompanied by Dr. WADE, visited the sufferer in the course of the evening; but the acknowledged superior skill of the latter could not avail, as the brain was pumping through his right ear. On next day he died, deeply regretted by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
