Owen Mitchell was my great uncle, a brother of my grandfather Daniel Mitchell. I have some iinformation on his career in London in the post office and his career from c. 1904, first in east Africa and from 1910 in west Africa (Accra) and his death there in 1920. I have recently been in contact with Owen's grandson.

I am researching Leitrim men and women during the 1914-18 war. I have Adam Algeo in my database along with two other of the family name, Lewis and Norman, of Glenboy, not too far from Tullyskeherny, where Adam grew up. Apart from the military records I just have whatevr information is in the Irish census records of 1901 and 1911. I would be keen to hear of any other sources particularly anything that might throw light on their wartime experiences. Thank you;

I am an historian not a genealogist but the following may be of interest.

Two pupils attending a school in Callan in 1829-30 were Judy and Robin Haw: they both entered on the same day, the only pupils to do so, and that suggests a relationship, probably brother and sister. There is also a record of a Walter Haw attending the same school at around that time. The only property tax (church tithes) payer of the name Haw in the town at that point was named Walter. He had a small piece of land near the village.
