pony club organiser. She is a
descendant of S1r Christopher

Locally the mar_riage- was-
descrlbed as a River Boyne
romance. The Conyngham estate
is on the left bank at Slane. where
the salmon ‘is. The Newsam
gamily estate lies on the opposite

ank.

Should there be an heir he will
be the first Viscount‘ Slane——th‘e
third title to the marquessate——for
200 years. Lord Conynglia-in sits in
the House’ of Lords as _Baron
Minster. _ ,
