Francis Lamb, second son of Sarah Duke and Francis Lamb, was born 4 January 1804. He married Catherine 'Harford' of Bandon on 30 Dec 1827. They had five children: Mary Eliza, Mary (16 Aug 1835 - 20 Aug 1835), Joseph (b. 5 Dec 1832), Sarah (b. 16 Sep 1830), and William (19 Nov 1828 - 1899).
Loyal National Repeal Association
The Loyal National Repeal Association was organized by Daniel O'Connell in 1830 with the goal of breaking political ties with Britain and repealing the Act of Union of 1800. The association was well organized and gained members throughout the early 1840s. The repeal campaign failed in its mission to escape British rule but did engage millions of Irish people in a political cause, and the famed "Monster Meetings", which were attended by tens of thousands of people, demonstrated that the majority of people in Ireland opposed British rule.
