Hi Margaret! I love getting a connection :) Yes, Annie Carragher is part of my tree. You can see her on my tree here - my great grand aunt: http://carragherfamily.org/getperson.php?personID=I158&tree=Moneyvolan1 I would love to have pictures. Please let me know if it would be alright to post on my site. I have a few albums of old photos to start working on. My dad remembers John Farrell well, his father's first cousin. When I looked at the Griffiths Valuation, I see a Michael Farrell in Cloghan (listed at #15). Is that Francis' father? My dad asked about your family - did your great grandmother emigrate? I assume by your email that you're out west somewhere. Anything I could do on my trip, please ask. There must be graves in Annyalla - do you have photos? Stay in touch.

My great grandmother's brother Francis Farrell (b 1872 Cloughan, Castleblaney, Co Monaghan) Married Annie Carraghan. They had one child, a son, John, who was the last of the family to live on the homestead. (It is now the grounds of the Monaghan Football Association.). If Annie is one of yours, I have a couple of pictures of her from 1932 when my great aunt went home for a visit. Enjoy your trip!
