I have an ancestor who lived in Ireland in the mid to late 1700s about whom I would like to find out more.
What's the best way of doing so?
She was in a relationship with and had four sons with a man who was a reasonably well known public figure (there is plenty of information about him available from a Google search) but there is nothing easily accessible about her other than her name.
I would love to know more about her. Who her family were and why she and her partner never married, in particular.
Can anyone suggest where I should start?
