Just worked it out, Edward:

Exactly 100 years ago (short only 14 days!) my great-aunt Susan [sister of my granny Bridget, mother of my father Sonny] married Edward Coonagh.

There were 4 children of this union : Frank - unmarried, no issue: Kathleen m George Flanagan (no issue): Edward (d. aged 25 years) and Philip m Nancy Devine - of the latter union, children were Patricia, Phyllis, yourself and Gary.


Can you fill me in and bring this side of my family tree up to date ?

To Edward Coonagh:

did you know you and I are distantly related? Small world!

Hello Austin, I sat by Arthur at St Josephs school in Edward St. Do you mean big John or Wee John Brady?
I Remember the Digbys Maurice and his brother, one of them had an accident when he was a child I think a spike went through his neck, its all vague of course, I think his Mum was Josie Keegan.
You must be younger than me, because I can't remember yourself although I remember
Mr Goulding standing at the front door smoking his pipe.
There is much more I can remember, but would be writing
all night.
I have just come back from Ireland today, but only passed through Newry from Down Patrick'
Thanks for writing back, I hope we can keep in touch.
Ted

Hi, Anyone related to or know any relations of Anthony Mckeown living in Boat Street at the time of the 1911 census aged 14. He later married Lillie McGuigan in 1919.

Mariea, I believe John to have been my grandfather. He later resided at 28 Linenhall Square (near to Alfred Fulton). If a link between John and Catherine (5,Castle Street?)can be proven then we are likely to be related. Seán

Hello Mariea - As you are aware John and James are shown as sons of William and Catherine in the 1911 Census.
Newry's Roll of Honour (1915) shows a John (R.I.R.) and a James (R.I.F.) Mc Kevitt as residing at 5 Castle Street.

Are they the above mentioned sons and do you know anymore about them?
