Dear Listers I am affraid that my Mid 20th Century Irish history is not very good, I am trying to find out why three sisters (my mother included) would come to England in their early thirties during the early 1950's and vow never to go back to Ireland and never speak about their past there. Was there something that happened at that time or am I looking more at a major family fued? Their early lives were spent in Nenagh and I believe that they were born there. Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved, also would it be worthwhile spending some time visiting Nenagh? Many Thanks Simon Egan-Smith

Well there could be a number of reasons. I went to England when I left school in the late fifties (I have since returned) The reason I went was work. There were plenty of jobs in England at the time and a better standard of living which wasn't the case in Ireland. The fact that your family vowed never to go back or to speak about their past makes me suspect there may have been more to their moving. You will have to do a bit of digging to find out the real reasons. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Smith" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "Rootsweb NYNIAGAR" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 10:22 PM Subject: [COTIPPERARY] Modern Irish History > Dear Listers > > I am affraid that my Mid 20th Century Irish history is not very good, I am > trying to find out why three sisters (my mother included) would come to > England in their early thirties during the early 1950's and vow never to > go > back to Ireland and never speak about their past there. > > Was there something that happened at that time or am I looking more at a > major family fued? > > Their early lives were spent in Nenagh and I believe that they were born > there. > > Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved, also would it be worthwhile > spending some time visiting Nenagh? > > Many Thanks > > Simon Egan-Smith > > > > Please remember to "snip" short the message to which you are replying and > check the subject line.

Simon, I solved a similar problem by tracking down other relatives as in cousins and an old Uncle who knew the family 'secrets'. Just a thought that may or may not help.
