BLAKENEY.—On the 23rd March, at Cooltigue, Caroline Jane, the beloved child of William T. Blakeney, aged three years and three weeks.
Caroline Jane Blakeney, buried on March 23, 1866, was a little girl, six years and 20 days, of age, daughter of William and Eliza Blakeney.

Both were fine looking women. One of Mrs. Barron's daughters is the wife of one of Sir Arthur Palmer's sons. C.J.
