What is recorded here
Hayes in County Meath, Ireland, is the birthplace of Robert Bourke, 1st Baron Connemara, who entered the world on 11 June 1827. That is the clearest fact the story can hold. The rest is a life that left the place, took other names in other rooms, and never returned to make the house famous.
Why this person is known: British Conservative politician and colonial administrator (1827–1902)
