Henry Robinson, Canal House Belmont died on 28th January, one day
before the scheduled closure of G.R.Robinson Mineral Waters and
Distributors in Belmont.
Henry took particular interest in the making of their famous mineral
drinks.May he rest in peace.

Some good news for the Cluny Sisters Fund for Haiti.
The money raised at the weekend Pool Tournament in Killeens and the
proceeds from the well supported raffle amounted to 724 Euros and is
being forwarded to the Cluny Sisters.

Jimmy Galvin Ballinahown was telling that his uncle Tom Galvin from
Cloniffeen and Waterbury,Conn,USA died some months ago in America.
He is survived by his wife Mary,(nee Fallon),and three daughters
Eileen, Marjorie and Joan and son Tom.Tom Galvin emigrated to America
around 1947.
May he rest in peace.

This was my "uncle" Tommy, the last known relative that I have that came from Ireland. i grew up in Waterbury

It is so good to see that he was reported on back in his home <3. he never lost his tongue... i would go to their house, him and Aunt Mary, just to listen to the speak...

I've been working on my genealogy for a couple months and i still dont really know how were related :)

James - my great-grandfather's brother - was 29 on the 1911 census in parsonstown, shannonbridge, cloniffeen. learning all the place names is tough :(

James b 1882, Patrick b 1881, Thomas and John were all sons of John b1842 & Anne (poss Honoria) nee Murphy.

any help with my relations, or just fun stories are welcomed!!
