Hi Linda..And added to that is the folklore in both Greene and O'Reilly(Riley) families that,there being few eligible single girls there at the time,that Prince William(later King William IV) took up witha girl in one of those families and that a child was eventually bornand that a few years later William had the child brought to England to be raised there,but left the mother behind,and she then married a local man. True or not?Who knows,but interesting both of those oldand interconnected families have it in their family folklore? William,the sailor king,was of course well known to have a liking for young ladies in those days, so quite possible. Ward
