Hello John

I don’t think I quite appreciated the place fully myself until I wrote this!

Hoping to get back there once the world is a safer place

My Aunt Eileen was Headmistress at the local school and my Uncle Liam owned O,Connors bar in the main street. It has taken your short video for me to see the real beauty and history of the town. We shall visit the house on our next visit, whenever that may be.

Hello!

Thanks for the feedback. Dad was one of the Colemans of Ballyellen. Granny was a Kavanagh of Ballytiglea. Ring any bells?

Perhaps you might share your Family name with me as I cannot see any reference on of your Da and Grand Mother.
My family name is Hynes from Cournellan and we live a field away from the Barrow and perhaps some of my family fished with your Da
