Church Photos on my web site at the link below. Alternatively, type: Jean McCarthy into the GOOGLE search engine for a direct link. I have added twenty two more photographs to the church photos pages on my web site. These have been kindly donated by Bill in Ontario who sent a photo of the Church of Ireland in Aghalee, also known as Soldierstown Church. His g-g-grandparents were married in this church in 1846. Bill would like to give credit to Mr. David Twigg, a parishioner who provided photos and a history of the church. This is a particularly beautiful picture taken in the snow. It looks like a lovely Christmas card. The other twenty one wonderful photographs were kindly donated by Russell in Idaho. Russell’s new photos are of: Church of Ireland St. Patrick Cathedral Armagh City, Galway Cathedral, St Brendan's Church Coolock Town Nr. Dublin, St. Colman's Cathedral Cobh County Cork, St. George in St. Mary's Convent Limerick, St. Manchans Church Near Tullymore, Convent of Mercy Charleville, Kylemore Abbey near Connamara Coast, Monastery near Clarinbridge County Galway, An old Spanish Church on the coast of Sligo, McAuley House Baggott Street Dublin. There are a dozen or so more photos on Russell’s pages that are too numerous to put in detail here. Russell’s explanation of the photographs is fascinating. Very many sincere thanks to Bill and Russell. There is now a complete list of the names of the churches whose photographs are on my web site. The link to this list is on the very first page of the Church photos page. To find Bill’s Church of Ireland Aghalee photo follow the links and it is on the very latest photos page four at the bottom. Russell’s photos are on the next link from the same page. There are two pages of Russell’ s photos. Kindest Regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore. Staffordshire, England.

Hi folks can anyone tell me if there is an official list of soldiers who fought in WW1 and where I could find it online seeking William Stevenson b 1875 d 1932 - was member of UVF at the western front thanks Sue fro Perth Western Australia

Sue Do a search for the Public Records Office in Kew England (National Achives). There are limited service records from the 1st World War due to bombing and a fire during the 2nd World war. There is a searchable database of the Medal Index Cards. I have had a look and there is 441 William Stevenson. Several of these William Stevenson have Irish connections.

Since i have not received any messages in the last few days, i am afraid that i have made some mistake which cancelled my direct mailings Al Valentine

Looking for connections to a, ROBERT KING, of Belfast, who died January 21st 1942, at 43 Fitzroy Avenue, a engineer and draughtsman, who was the only son of Robert and Jane [nee Murphy] King. (Robert King, senior, was a Merchant Tailor, I believe). Buried at Clifton Street Cemetery. He had one known sister, Margaret Josephine (Gretta), died 25th May, 1920. Other names related are: Edith 1877-1958, and Caroline Ursula King 1875- 1960. Caroline was a spinster. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanking you. Marina Christchurch New Zealand

In 1860my great grandparents were married in a Presbyterian Church on what looks like a York Street in Belfast. I have checked there is such a street. Do any of the Belfasters know it there is still a Presbyterian church on York Street/ I doubt that it could be the same church but I would appreciate an address if one does exist. If anyone has a photo send it to Jean I will pick it up from her website. Thanks for any assistance that can be provided. Al Valentine Canada

Church Photos on my web site at the link below. Alternatively, type: Jean McCarthy into the GOOGLE search engine for a direct link.

As there are quite a lot of photos on my site this will take some time to do. I will get started on the list tomorrow.

Regards, Jane <snip>Dear Jane I would be interested to know if on your checking the information you have listed on 4/29/2005 .if you would remember seeing any BRANIFF NAMES of CO Down and BELFAST Co Antrim. I would appreciate hearing from you If by any chance you could give me any leads on contacting any historians around Downpatrick or Portaferry.

Dear Jane Many thanks for your quick reply to my request . I will check on Raymond and see what he might have . Have a good day Ellen{Braniff}De Souter
