  1. Thomas Snape was still at the Fortune of War in 1850 when he married Margaret (Winders) Crombleholme of the Windsor Castle. Her husband Richard had died at the Windsor Castle the year before.

    "MARRIAGES...On Monday last, at St. Ignatius's Catholic Church, Mr. Thomas Snape, of the Fortune of War, to Mrs. Margaret Crombleholme, of the Windsor Castle, both of this town."
