Hi Dick and others,
I've recently had an email kindly sent me by someone who spotted my interest in this subject. He wrote:
"I found your message re the Lang/Vance family Castlepoles Arva, Co Cavan, My primary school teacher was Mrs. Francis Lang Brusehall National School C of I  I attended this school 1929-39.I was an adopted child of a neighboring family. I got to know the Lang family very well. Mrs. Lang had 3 sons Herbie, Alfie, and Desmond, all have passed on now. Herbie's widow stills lives at Castlepoles"
Hope this'll help someone.
Jamie.

Hi, how interesting! My father's cousins went to Bruce Hall School, joining in about
1926.  They were Cecil David Stokes Lang & Ena Christina Lang.  I wonder if your
contact knew them.  Shirley

Hi Jamie & Shirley,

Jamie - Can you pm me with your contacts details - the school teacher is my Great Grandmother Frances Lang nee Vance. 'Alfie' is my Grandfather George Alfred Lang. Herb's widow is Ena who is still in contact with an Aunt of mine.

Shirley - I would guess that our families cross somewhere along the line!

Dick

PS - I'm told I have relatives living in Edmonton/Tottenham North London quite close to me!

Hi, Dick,  As if Irish Genealogy isn't difficult enough, I'm trying to work out
who all my new contacts are!  I do have a copy of the Bruse Hall School
Register which shows George Alfred Lang.  It's not too clear but quite
interesting - Shirley

Shirley - What an absolute gem!
