Was Honora Baker poisoned (1826) ?

The Baker family in the Ballyline-Corofin-Tubber triangle is one of my research targets.

I found the following at http://www.csorp.nationalarchives.ie which is an amazing trove of local history and, being full of family names, is very useful for genealogists looking for family members in the first half of the 19th century. Look at all these Clare names in just one entry.

Thanks to Peter Beirne of the Local Studies Centre at the Clare County Library in Ennis for flagging this lode to me.
