Place & story

Living at Robinstown in 1915

Peter Bamford’s family history identifies Robinstown House in Kilskeer parish as a home of Charlie Bomford after he left Oakley Park. It records him living at Robinstown in 1915, about a mile towards Kells from Kilskeer. The family moved to Riversdale in 1922 and later to Priory Cottage near the Headfort estate. These successive addresses distinguish the brief Robinstown residence from the family’s better-known houses elsewhere in Meath. [2]
