Coolbeha House and Gunsborough House, Co.Kerry

Rev. Robert Sandes above baptised Lord Kitchener in 1850. But was Kitchener also born in his house?

Coolbeha House and Gunsborough House are close to each other, between Ballylongford and Listowel, Co.Kerry.
There is confusion about the two houses, whether Rev. Robert Sandes lived in either, and where Kitchener was born in 1850.

More research is needed to make sense of all this.
