Three topics: 1) Emigration in 1869/70/71 - Does anyone have information on emigration from Westmeath in these years? I am interested to hear of usual port of departure in Ireland for Westmeath emigrants and whether Argentina or North America were favoured destinations in these years. My greatgrandparents left Mullingar during these years and returned to Ireland later. Details known are few. 2) My grandfather is believed to have joined the British Army and may have fought in the Boer War in the 1900s. We have very little information and would be interested to hear if others from Mullingar went to South Africa also or India during the early 1900s. 3) Newspapers - Anyone with knowledge of local newspapers in print for Mullingar Area during the1840s? Many Thanks Maire
