Irish Petty Sessions, Westport, County Mayo
Hanoria Gibbons of Cappahornan v. Michael Basquil of Ayle
“Assaulting her on Monday the 22nd day of May 1843”
Michael was Walter’s father and my great-great-great grandfather. This was not his shining moment, I think.
If you have Irish ancestors and you have a FindMyPast subscription, I strongly recommend looking through the Irish Petty Sessions record set. It’s occasionally sad, but often quite entertaining.
