“Francis Colley and his wife have been resident at Fernhill Heath in this parish for about eighteen months. During that time I have had constant opportunities of forming an estimate of his character and conduct, and it gives me great pleasure to testify to his industry, sobriety and honesty. He was employed by Mr Collins the contractor during the restoration of our church, which lasted about ten months and I had almost daily opportunities of seeing him about his work. We found him invariably obliging and hard working.”
Reverend Alfred Porter, Vicar of Claines 11th April 1887
