thanks mcreed. will try that

if anyone has a copy, could you check to see if May Costello features?

maybe someone on here had a family member who was a keen golfer from that time and might have piccies?

I found out recently that my Aunt May Costello of 29 Abbey St was a life-long member of the Golf Club at Lahinch and was a Lady Captain in 1939. Anyone have any ideas about how I might find out more? Maybe even photos of her? Here is a pic of her from around that time. http://i63.tinypic.com/2d825js...

Here is some of what I know about the Lally's of Ennis. This is the 1911 census page of the Hotel in O'Connell St I think. The two spinster ladies were known as "The Misses Lally" http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Clare/Ennis_No__4_Urban/O_Connell_Street/353847/ My Grandfather, Leonar...

Hi Larry, regrettably I have got no further on the Lally's. They are a huge black hole in my family researches.

Any help greatly appreciated

I dont think so Margaret. She was a Moloney anyway from Dysart . I dont know what became of the only brother I know she had called Michael.

Hi Thats brilliant thanks

I will follow up on these leads.

I am looking for a Laois girl Kathleen Brennan who I know married in Laois in 1925

I am intrigued by the link to Ennis convent and why she entered and left!

Thanks everyone

Does anyone know if there are records of Nuns in Ennis Convent in the early 1920's

In our family, my Grandfather managed to be a year younger in 1901 than he was in 1911!

I think it was Tir na nOg they lived in and not 29 Abbey Street Ennis at all!

Yeah, I wondered could it be that Paddy. Only thing is the writer without drawing breath [so to speak] says the shop lady was very interested in the troops. mmmm Curious!

. Thanks folks. I actually bought the postcard for the piccie,so the writing on the back was a bonus. Handwriting looks a bit shaky and the ink looks genuinely faded to my untrained eye. Wonder what the writer was referring to with "where I got these from" ? Any thoughts? Will deffo look up that book!

I recently bought this postcard off ebay for the piccie on the front.



I was intrigued by the inscription on the back. What do you guys think,is this real or faked?




Would be interested to hear opinions!

I know it's a wee bit early yet,but I wanted to wish everyone on here a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS and all the very best of everything for the new year! Also I'd like very much to thank everyone who helped me in my researches, both on the Board here and in person in Ennis and district. THANK YOU ALL VERY ...

For some reason, the pics aren't showing on the we page.

Thanks Paddy.

I know Brian Spring is working on a book about Abbey Street at moment,I'm sure he'd be delighted if anyone had info relating to the street.

Did everyone see a piece in The Clare Champion of Nov 1? I sent in some details of my late Fathers premises at 29 Abbey St and they very kindly published a nice item for me. Hopefully it will yield some information for me. One never knows who might see it and be able to identify some of the people f...
