Adrian McCrum	I moved away from Newry in 1986 to Norwich but get back as often as I can to see the relatives. First time I have come accross this site and really enjoyed looking through the old photos especially when I found an innocent looking uncle of mine when he was at the Abbey Primary. Hi to all the McCrums of Derrybeg Drive and the Campbells of high Street!

theo.	Conas tá tú Bro Mallon? There was another famous Newry Man, Willie Maley. He was born in Newry in 1868, and became the first manger of Celtic. He also played for Scotlands National Football team after becoming a naturalized Scot.Slán.

tramlines	Thanks Martin, much appreciated.

The Watcher	Tramlines, contact Colin Moffett at colin.moffett@newryandmourn. gov.uk He has the books and will send one on to you. They cost £5 plus p/p

Martin Payne	Tramlines, There is an entry in the list of dead for the Newry area for, Francis Rogers Son of Mr and Mrs Frank Rogers of Newry; husband of Eithne Doreen Joyce Rogers of Paignton Devon. Francis Rogers. Pilot Officer (Air Gnr.) – 49589. 218 Sqdn. Royal Air Force. 3 September 1942 Age 29

marie mc crum	did you know that the mc crum name was originally mc crimmin famous pipers from scotland ?

Tramlines	Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the Newry War Dead. Alternatively if one of you good souls had a copy is there an entry for Frank Rodgers Dominic Street - RAF - died 1942 - thanks

Santanta	Bro Mallon refers to "The Shambles" but (possibly as a result of editing?) it is not described. In English cities (York being a prime example), The Shambles is the area devoted to the slaughter of animals. It is no coincidence therefore to have tanneries adjacent to it.

marie mc crum	there is a whole family of mc crums living in carlingford would be interesting to know if we are related

Santanta	McAteer's was on Castle Street near the Sacred Heart but the Poor Clares was on High St.

Robbie McLoughlin	Class of 61 again. The back row to the left of Eamon Connolly is not Martin White but Jim Mc Manus. On the front row Tony Mc Donald is really Charlie McDonald

Rebelrouser	Kevin McAteer was the shop you mentioned beside The Poor Clare's (Sacred Heart) school in Castle Street?

Santanta	McAteer's shop figured in earlier posts on this forum and was declared to be the best outlet in the world for the greatest confection ever made.....McCann's currant squares!6hu9mp

Row 2 Prisoner #4	Class of '61 PHOTO Martin McCormick should be DOMINIC McCormick. Charlie McCormick is actually Tony McDonald. And second row ?? his first name is Paddy, I'm blanking on his last name. 2nd part of class photo: Front Row ?? is really Harry Donnelly. Thank you. I enjoyed the visit. GMH

airborne	In reply to Kevin McAteer, I am a McAteer and lived on North Street, but moved to Belfast in 1953 I believe was the year, we had a shop in chapel street. I remember mccann's bakery well, what I would give right now to have a slice of a batch loaf with a good dolop of creamery butter on it. I don't remember the McAteer shop on castle street sorry about that.

Jack O' Hare	MALLINS CHEMIST SHOP HILL ST. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY HISTORY OR OLD PHOTO'S OF THE CHEMIST AS ALL THE FIXTURES & FITTINGS ARE NOW IN A NEW CAFE BAR & DELI IN NEWCASTLE WOULD LIKE SOME INFO ON IT ANYONE WHO HAS PLEASE FORWARD TO MY EMAIL...?

Kevin McAteer	Hello,I lived in Castle Street in 1956 to 1958 along with my parents and sister and baby brother.I can recall Mcanns bakery where I used to go every day to collect the bread,there was also a small shop in the street owned by the McAteer family,(no relation),I used to help BarneyMcAteer to deliver milk to far away places like Ballyholland on his poy and trap. I wonder if any one can remember this period.

Pictionary	Thanx Olwen. In Welsh legend Olwen was a beautiful maiden, the lover of Culhwch and the daughter of the giant Yspaddaden. Her father insisted that Culhwch complete several seemingly impossible tasks before he would allow them to marry, and Cullwch was successful with all of them. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Santanta	Olwen is not an odd name and has a lovely ring to it. Ignore those Londoners. By teaming up with McLeod you will have given the Londoners a real pronounciation problem. HOWEVER does anyone remember a girl/woman around Newry with the name Dorinda (usualy pronounced Drinda)?

barbara	Hi I live in donaghadee, my grandfathers brother william george strain moved to bessbrook in the 30's 40's he apparently lived in fountain street. would anyone know any of the family if there is any left. thanks
