Hi Matt,
I just got some information for you but not much.
Frank Downey aged 80 next birthday still lives in Douglas West and is wheelchair bound.
He knew Tim and Tom Falvey and Maggie Falvey, a weaver, possibly a sister.
Mrs O'Brien- Maggie Halloran lived next door to Frank it may have been
no 7 or 12 (The numbers of the houses have changes). She was a great neighbour.
The Falvey's were her uncles and she looked after them in their old age.
Maggie's son was John O'Brien.
Maggie went to live in Grange Park. She died and her husband Paddy died.
John, Maggie's son, lived in a bungalow on Grange road opposite Grange heights.
They had a son and a daughter. He doesn't know if the son and daughter are living there (Grange Road) Still
Pat McSweeney is the caretaker of the graveyard nest to St' Columba's Church and he can be contacted at Marian Terrace ( no number given) Grange Road. some books relating to the graveyard are still in existence.
Not much there . I've take some photos and I'll try and attach the to the email. I having a bit of trouble sending them.
Thankfully I was not effected by the floods but at the moment we are in the grip of a freeze and it's hard to get about.
All the best for now and have a Happy New Year,
Olive Coleman |
