So many 'long" country walks past the Eighteen Archers with all our friends remembering to pass Pauline's 'supermarket'in Cecil st.I moved to Sydney Australia with my wife, Seventeen years ago and I am now planing a return to Newry next year.Most of my family are still in Glasgow, with my sister Mageret crossing to Newry regulary. Hope to be walking up Cecil st soon.

Martin Payne	S. Coulson, the information that I have regarding Collins Court is taken from the 1946 Newry directory, they are all scanned images on a disc, but if you let me have an e-mail address I can send them to you.

Patrick Digby	I wish to thank all concerned who attended my Aunt Madge Keenan's funeral in Newry last week. I also believe that Tony Fitzpatrick wrote a lovely poem. Thanks Tony.

Glen Benson	Steve & Janet if you google Derrymore House you will find some more info and even a picture of the house in question which belongs to the National Trust.

Vinmac	Steve and Janet - is this it? http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-derrymorehouse/

Lynda James	Hello there Does anyone remember Lottie Mckeon? Sister of Oliver McCann (born in Erskine Street, no.19); she did a lot of charity work I believe. Would love to hear any stories about her or Oliver; photos would be great. This is such a wonderful website. Well done everyone.

S. Coulson	Hi, Martin can you please let me know whether there is a family including James and Alice Maguire living at Collin Court, Newry in 1946? If so would you let me know any other family names. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Patrick Digby	To Tony Fitzpatrick;- Thankyou for your kind words in regards to Madge Keenan and family.My mother, Josephine (Keenan)Digby used to take the whole 'Digby' clan, seven of us to Newry, 34 Cecil st.My brothers and sister grew up in Newry and my sister Mageret returns daily from Glasgow. I now live in Sydney and was in Newry three years ago. I had many friends in Cecil st, Sean Grant, McGuigans,Ferrises, Peter Mallon,Hubdons, Macoy's the list goes on.Wonderful, wonderful times.

AUSTINGOLDING	NEWRY PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GREAT CELTIC SUPPORTERS,SO WHERE WERE THEY ALL LAST SATURDAY WHEN A CELTIC TEAM PLAYED IN NEWRY?

Steve and Janet	Does anyone have any information or know anything about a thatched property called "DERAMORE" in Bessbrook?

Vicki Brennan	Hi,Great site, wonderful stories and info!! I am researching my family history. I am looking for info on my g.g.g.grandfather Bernard Brennan born 1838 Kilbroney, he married Mary Murphy 1858. They had children John, Peter 1866 and Margaret 1869. Vicki

Tony Fitzpatrick	I also learnt with sadness yesterday of the death of Mrs Keenan mother of my old friend Tony. Like Patrick Digby I have many fond memories of her house in High Street. She was a lovely woman. My sympathies to Tony and the rest of the Keenan family

Patrick Digby	I was informed on Saturday 26th July, that my Aunt Madge Keenan passed away. Aunt Madge was the wife of the late Hugh Keenan, my mother's brother. My happy memories of playing in Aunt Madge's house in High st and at the back, sliding down the grass hill. My prayers to Madge's two sons Tony and Brendan. From all of the Digby family, our prayers from around the world.

gene mcdonnell	to tony fitzpatrick, we go back to newry every couple of years, only for our family we wouldnt talk to anyone we know, it seems very strange watching all the faces and not see one you know, we left in 63 its not the same anymore, but we still go home

Sean	Great Site, had the best laugh in ages at the recollection of the resident of the meadow who proclaimed that he sent the people from Derrybeg who were banging bin lids during the troubles back home with a stern look..!! Ha Ha, so funny, he should have told the RUC not to bother to fire the plastic bullets, a stern look from a resident of the meadow would have naturalised any potential riot!! Really he should get real. People like him who tried to blinker out the world around them were nothing but cowards,,,,

Liberty Belle	Hi Armagh Active! So our mututal friend is probably sunning himself in better climes! Thank you for trying to contact Declan and have a lovely hollier yourself.

McDonnell search	Family McDonnell children immigrated to Australia 1914(approx). Family address was Bogg Road Newry in 1950's. Johnnie McDonnell(dec)(brother to Mary)(funeral St Michaels, Killeen was appointed Judge of Sinn Fein Court.I am grandaughter to his sister Teresa (dec) in Australia and hoping to contact any family members. Any information much appreciated as I will visit in the near future.

Tony Fitzpatrick	Hi Folks.The reference to Declan Mc Chesney made me think again of the class of 69 from the Abbey as well as guys and girls from the other schools of the same year. I often meet Declan but can go through several visits to Newry without bumping into anyone from that group. Does anyone know how many of that years students still work and live in Newry
