Would any knowledgeable person out there know if there were British Army bases in Co. Louth (especially the area around Longford) in the 1800's. Regards Wally B

Cheers to the list! Tithe Applotment records (1824) show townlands of "Fahiebeg" and "Nockaclavanea" for Pierce GUNNING and Michael GUNNING in Parish of O'Briensbridge and Killaloe in County Clare. I can't find those townland names in Ireatlas. Can anyone give me the real townland names? Also, can anyone give me the names of the children of Pierce GUNNING and Michael GUNNING or any other information about their families? Any help would be appreciated! Tom Gunning

Louth (especially the area around Longford) in the 1800's.... Hello Wally, On my last trip to Ireland, we traveled through County Louth when we went to the birthplace of my grandmother, Bridget Finnerty, who was born in the workhous at Ardee, County Louth. On the way from Dublin to Ardee, we stopped at Drogheda, County Loth, which is on the River Boyne, which separates County Louth from County Meath in that area, and went through the Mellmount Barracks Museum and viewed the site an important battle in Irish history, the Battle of Boyne. We had an interesting and informative discussion of local history with a lovely lady, whose, name, I believe, was Mary Collins, a volunteer at the muesum. The military post occupies a hilltop overlooking the town and the river, obviously a strategic position for artillery. Perhaps if you wrote to the Mellmount Barracks Museum, they could provide you with detailed information. The Battle of Boyne, which was a pivotal point in the history of Ireland, occurred in this area.

Would anyone know If a person could receive social security from the USA, a pension from the U.K. and from Ireland. This is based on the person working in the 3 countries in his lifetime. Or did the 3 aforementioned countries get together and permitted only one pension be allowed. Does anyone know if this is true. Txs F.X. Fitzgerald

Often times you will find surnames as well as place names spelled phonetically or how they sounded to the person writing the record. Fahiebeg would be Fahy Beg County Clare Barony: Tulla Lower Civil Parish: O'Briensbridge Poor Law Union: Limerick Nockaclavanea would be Knockyclovaun County Clare Barony: Tulla Lower Civil Parish: Killaloe Poor Law Union: Scarriff There are no townlands listed in The General Aphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland beginning with nock. Nock would be the phonetic of Knock. Knock is found in many place names, it is the anglicization of cnoc which means anthing from a small hill to a small mountain.

I had a situation in my family when my father's older sister married a man and they had a son who married my father's youngest sister ..They then had children. It was always funny how the different members of the family thought about their relationships when they were asked " who the other members were.?" The whole family were coming from a Yale football game in a large car and they were speeding and were stopped by police. The police asked who they were. The answers were amazing as each member of the family gave the police different messages as to who they were. Like Uncle was also Grandfather and the like. Harry Taylor

Hello Everyone According to the marker of my ggggrandfather John Eveleigh . he was born in Hereford, Ireland. I cannot find where it is in Ireland. I am assuming it is a Village.

Ann b. Oct 6 1819 Queenstown, m. Alcensas WARD in Vermont Elizabeth b abt 1821 Nothing known. Hannah b. about 1823 m. John Sheridan, maybe in Ireland. Nothing else is known.

I remember this song from back in high school in the late forties Since that was in Brooklyn, NY It must have been pretty popular. I think it even made the Lucky Strike hit parade.

Is there a kind soul out there who lives in London and gets over to the British Library on Colindale Avenue? They have a newspaper there that I would like to have looked at.
