A total of 16 people are known to have died in the White House.  Willie Lincoln died there in 1862.  Who was the previous person to Willie to have died there?

What's the connection between a cemetery in Sligo and Lincoln's "Avenger" ?

Well, "Lincoln's avenger' has to be Boston Corbett and in thinking of Irish connections, I can only come up with Edward Doherty?

Yep, you got it straight away with Doherty.  I thought people would lock on to Corbett.  I'll post an image of the Sligo connection when I'm on the laptop.
