This is correct. Quote: Charles Stewart Parnell[1] (27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891) was an Irish Protestant landowner, nationalist political leader, land reform agitator, Home Rule MP in the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, founder and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. He was one of the most important figures in 19th century Ireland and Great Britain and described by Prime Minister William Gladstone as the most remarkable person he had ever met. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stewart_Parnell Sep 10 08, 7:44 PM

I know Charles Stewart fathered children with another woman from Cross/Cong area... why is there nothing in the history books about her? She was an O'grady . Where can I find information on her? I understand it was quite a scandal and not many people want to discuss it to this day. Apr 09 13, 12:56 PM
