Hi,
Today (Saturday 2nd June, 2018) Re: Horan Family.
I was amazed and delighted to find this site, after trying to track down the name Mylod, via FaceBook.
My name is Philip my Nana was Evelyn Kate Horan, who was born in Swansea (her father was in Irish army and travelled). My Nana married George Lane, my Grandad, and lived in Tranmere, Birkenhead. . I have an older sister, Norma and an older brother, Mervyn.
Evelyn's daughter (my dearest Mum) was called Alice and I used to visit Cork with my Mum, as a youngster and stay with "Aunty" Aggie and "Uncle" Andy Mylod (they lived on a hill, in Cork, overlooking a large church). . I also used to play football, including Gaelic Football, plus hurling, with my "2nd or 3rd or 4th?" cousin, Patrick Hogan down in Cork City by the old gasometer, on an old playing field. His Mum and Dad were called "Chicky" and "Paddy" and they had a younger son called "Marty." Pat Hogan and I were in regular contact, in our younger days and when I visited Cork, we'd often sneak off with his mates and smoke a pack of Carolls!!
I also had an "Aunty Dick" and Uncle Tim" who lived near Wilton, plus I had an "Aunty Buppy" (Moira) who lived in Limerick and stayed there too. Sadly, my Mum, Alice, passed away in April, 2005 and I wished that I had kept more records - I have quite a few pictures and Aunty Moira and Aunty Chicky once came over to Birkenhead with their mother, Agness and stayed with us for a few days.
Finally, I have a niece (my brother, Mervyn's daughter) who lives just outside Killorglin.
I'd love to hear from anybody and even call into Cork for a pint, when I'm visiting my niece in Co. Kerry
Best wishes
Phil
