No my father was related to Arthur . Arthur was my father's uncle so he would've been my great uncle . We have no relation to Elsie other than through marriage . Sorry if I led u to believe anything different .

It's unlikely mum would have the time . She is 89 this year and everyday she has her sister come to her , her sister is very poorly so mum has to basically do everything for her!
My mum is not directly related to Artie only through marriage. My dad was a cousin of John mcGookin my maiden name was mcgookin. My grandfather was William james mcgookin. He was a brother of artie .
I believe they built carrickfergus cinema together

I don't really know much about who owned what . I will speak to my mother tomorrow about it she would remember better than me. I remember icecream was sold from the fish and chicken bar which is what the chip shop was called if I remember correctly . Their son John opened a chip shop facing the castle I ll ask my husband what the name of it was I think it was the castle chippy x
