My Ancestors from Howth, Eire. 1800s +
My Great Grandfather John Angus, was skipper of a 3-masted ship, which I believe was called 'Rokeby' . John Angus started a little church which was a tin chapel in Hillside Terrace (now called Thornmanby Road) John also built houses in Hillside Terrace. The little tin church is now deralict. Who did John marry? Two of my great Angus aunts ran a little tea shop at No 4 Hilside Terrace, and I remember as a small child playing 'croquet' on their back lawn, does anyone remember the tea shop.? John Angus (junior) known as Jack, was also a seaman, but he became coxswain of the life boat station in Howth and was the longest serving coxswain they have ever had, he served for over thirty years. Also there were the Gilmore family lived in Howth, Philip and Frances (Nee Angus) were my great aunt and uncle. George Gilmore (1898-1985) son of Philip and Frances (known as Fanny) my second cousin made headlines in the 1934 -1938 as the prodestant revelusionary ira leader.He also served in the Spanish Civil War. Also Dr William.F Angus MD physician/surgeon. (my Great uncle) lived in Columba House,Abby street, Howth.(I don't know much about him) ? do you know anything about him or his family? I loved as a child being rowed out to Ireland Eye, and wittnessing some birds hatching. If anyone can add to any of this information I would be most grateful.

Visit to Blarney Cork 2007 A memory of Cork, Eire My ancestors came from Cork to England. Whether this means that they sailed from Cork Harbour during the 1850's, or whether they lived in Cork, I am not sure, however my husband and I had an enjoyable few days there this year. The Cohb Harbour Heritage Centre is well worth a visit, especially if you, like me, had family who made the journey in the awful conditions in the ships, which the centre portrays really well. Also of course, Cohb was the last port of call for the Titanic, which also gets a mention there. Patrick Street is a bustling shopping centre, with of course the bridge over the river Lee.

Ancestors in Ireland A memory of Sligo, Eire I have discovered recently that my ancestors actually came from Sligo town. They were members of the McCormick and Boland families. Michael Boland was born in or around 1815 and some of his descendants emigrated to Co Durham. His daughter Mary married Michael McCormick and they were living in Co Durham with their family from the mid 1800s onward. They were all coal miners and there seems to have been a big community from Sligo all living and working in the same area north of Durham city. Michael and Mary's son John was my great grandfather. I wonder if any residents of Sligo now are connected to either of their family lines - I would love to discover more! Alice Potter Posted: 30/01/2007 10:48 by Alice Potter |

 Dublin, Grafton Street 1897 (ref: 39215) |
Now the top pedestrianised shopping street in Ireland! A memory of Dublin, Eire This is now famously the most exclusive shopping street in Dublin & Ireland too. The 7th most expensive rental prices in Europe with some retail outlets actually beating the world records making them more expensive than Paris or New York! This is the most popular place for Buskers from all over the world to display or perform their acts. Posted: 29/09/2006 12:49 by Barry Murphy |
