    3. Hi all, this sort of thing happened in England from many of the main areas when the Germans were bombing strategic targets. My father-in-law was sent from Birmingham, he lived near to the Dunlop factory, out to the wilds of Derbyshire. My mother's family were sent from south-east London up to Yorkshire, a trip of several hours by train, most of them went back many years later and settled there too. Rather than the phrase 'children sent away', the term 'evacuee' was deemed a suitable description of these children, many of whom were also evacuated to Canada, but some of these were home children, already orphans. Many were killed also after the ships they were traveling on were sunk. It is only reccently I have found out that there were bombings that had taken place in Ireland too!

    3. The shipyards in Belfast were bombed early in the blitz of 1940. After that every time the Luftwaffe flew past London (and therefore heading elsewhere)....the air raid sirens in Belfast and surrounding areas would go off. My mother and one of her sister's also spent the war years living on a relative's farm outside of Lisburn because of the threat. Even so, every time the air raid sirens went off they were sent home from school, gas masks in hand, often to get half-way there before the all clear sirens went off and they would have to trudge back to class. My father was in hospital in Belfast for tonsillitis when the first bombs hit Belfast. His picture, along with others, was featured in the paper afterwards...as several windows were shattered by the blasts.

    3. Hi Rosemary, Thanks for your input! I hope the term 'sent away' didn't come across as in any way offensive, as in some kind of punishment, as it wasn't intended that way. I was trying to think of the word and couldn't come up with anything suitable. Thinking about it, 'refugees' would be more suitable. It just wouldn't work its way to the front of my brain at the time. I think you are probably right about it not being an official thing and people going to families. I'm thinking that perhaps there were establishments set up for those people who didn't have contacts elsewhere. I must say though, that this is an extremely interesting subject. I have found a few good sites and got carried away reading them. http://multitext.ucc.ie/d/The_BlitzBelfast_during_the_second_World_War and http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/categories/c1103/index_10.shtml Thanks once again.

While Forttown appear to be on the west side of the B62 Road - between Ballymoney and Portrush - about 7 kms form Ballymoney. It seems to run in a SW direction and appear to adjoin Secon to its SW There is an Secon filling station (gas station for the USA) on the A26 road about 1 km inside the boundary with Londonderry.

    2. Claire McConville
    3. Hi All, I have been contacted by a lady whose father and his siblings were children during WWII and were sent, from Belfast, to live on a farm in Lisbellaw. I know it was common practice in England, as well as Ireland, for children to be sent away to live with other families. This lady has posted to the Belfast mailing list but unfortunately not had any response so I am posting here as the two places mentioned fall into the boundaries and also, as I know how helpful and knowledgeable you all are. Is there any way of finding out information about children sent away to live on farms? Government lists perhaps? I have emailed the lady back to get a surname just in case someone has already been researching this, I have to say most interesting, topic. Thanks in advance.

    3. Thank you for the directions! I am going to order a larger scale ordinance map for that area. Earlier I had been looking around in Derry for my Burnsides but since some of the children say they were born in Down I moved farther south in Antrim. I am still on the Derry list - maybe I'll post again. Hope the Boyd info I sent matches one on your list - it looked promising to me. I looked at an obit site yesterday for Boyds in SW PA. Guess I will wait until I get there to get any copy you many want - there were a lot!

    1. [NIR-DOWN] Secon and Forttown
    2. Linda Holley
    3. I have received info in the last few days that some Burnsides of Secon married into the Moore family. Also that they married into the Boyd family in Forttown. I know I need a better map of Co. Antrim but seem unable to find one - I do have an Ordnance Survey map but it is a touring map. Can anyone please tell me where these two areas are located or where I may download a map? Thank You, Linda

    2. photocopies are fine for genealogy but if you need one for legal purposes such as getting a passport or estate needs you must have it certified. I like to have photocopy rather than transcribed content because I have concrete evidence that there is nothing more available. However, if you have trouble with the script it can be helpful to have a transcription by someone who has done a lot of research in an area and knows the names, handwriting of clergy etc. At times it is a little like trying to interpret a doctors writing. Other times it is beautifully written script. Judy In a message dated 1/17/2008 3:11:40 A.M.
