I have recently transcribed and posted a number of news items relating to Laragh, Co. Monaghan. I make no claims for the accuracy of my transcriptions and welcome correction (I do them using voice recognition software because I am a hopeless typist - sometimes funny things happen and I don't catch them all). I am indebted to Mary France Kerly for her paper, The Rise & Fall Of A Village Industry: Cornacarrow & Laragh Mills 1775 - 1925 when it comes to making sense of events in Laragh. If you go to my newsclippings page, and look at the various articles on Laragh, you will see that I have updated many of footnotes thanks to the contributions from some of you to improving my knowledge of the both the times and the place. SEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/newsclippings-page.htm The names of people mentioned in these newsclippings are all listed on this page. If anyone knows anything about any of them, I'd love to learn more. (When I know nothing, I still put the name in the footnote because it is simpler to add information in the future as I learn it.) I have updated some of the footnotes in pieces that I posted earlier. Goodness knows, there is still much more to learn.
