One set of your great-grandparents is identical with one set of my great-grandparents (by name, Terence and Bridget Loy, late of Ummerivore, South Armagh, late neneteenth century).

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 ?

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.

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

Seán Mc Kevitt
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?
