Hi, I went to Naomh Brígh (St. Bridget's)  School, tullycroman, Co Monaghan in the 60s, and wondered if anyone has any photos of the School, teachers or pupils. Thanks

Welcome to Rootschat but this isn't a forum for tracing living friends or realtives and we aren't allowed to post details of living/possibly living people.

Have you tried contacting the school? they might have old photos or suggest who you could contact to find some.

This might also be of interest-

Are you sure of the school name and location?

You could try Cathriona at Clones Library.

hi hallmark, thanks for your advice to email Clones library, unfortunately they have no records of the school either.

Have you checked social media sites for a local history page or school page? At least one of my old primary schools has a FB page with lots of school photos.
