Update and Some Photos

We are pleased to announce that we have posted an article by a new guest author Adam Cashin entitled, ” The Shanbogh Cashin Family History.” It can be accessed from the home page. Another notebook has been transcribed, and Glenmore items have been added to the family pages. Michael Hoynes shared an early 2oth century memory card and this has been posted on the memory card page as an example.

Below are a few other photos shared by readers.

The first photograph was sent by Adam Cashin and features several Glenmore children.

Shanbogh National School Confirmation.

The second set of photos relate to the Doyles of Aylwardstown Station. Elizabeth “Lill” Doyle (1928-1995) was the daughter of the Aylwardstown stationmaster, Denis Doyle (c. 1883-1954) and his wife Annie Doyle (c. 1887-1951). Denis Doyle was originally from Wexford, and according to his obituary he served as the Aylwardstown stationmaster from 1926 until his retirement in 1948. Lill had one brother and two sisters. Her brother Dan Doyle lived in Mooncoin. Her sister Mai Doyle married Eddie Doyle, of Rochestown, Glenmore. Another sister was Anna Doyle. Lill married Paddy Donnelly. The obituaries of Denis and Annie Doyle are on the “D” family page.

Anyone recognise this couple? It is thought that they might be Lill’s grandparents.

The last two photos were taken last month after vegetation was removed around the Connolly long house in Ballylogue, Rochestown, Glenmore. Some of the Connolly’s that once lived here include: Phil, Mick, Martin, Pat, Tom, Ned, and John. Ned was the youngest and is thought to have been the last person to live in the house in the 1960’s. The house when it was last inhabited had a slate roof.

The featured photo was taken outside the Aylwardstown railway station of stationmaster, Denis Doyle (date unknown).
