Dear Chris,
Many thanks once again for your help. I've had no luck either!

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your efforts. I'm beginning to wonder if my great great grandfather's later profession was made up by his daughter! At the time of her birth he was a farmer and publican so had wondered if he had had to change jobs after losing his farm. If he did, it is beginning to look increasingly unlikely that he worked in a paper mill as a foreman or otherwise! He died circa 1878 so the paper mill would have to have been in that area of County Mayo at that time. I'll keep looking!
Thanks again!

Hi Chris,
Thank you once again for your help. I have found the ISBN number for the book and will give it a try. I will also try writing to the History Dept. as you suggest - nothing ventured.....etc.

Dear Chris,
Sorry! Thought there was information that I couldn't access! Thank you for creating the link. No news from Castlebar Library yet but it is early days. Thank you for your interest so far!

Dear Chris,
Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, when I click to 'link with the thread' it then says click for info on my great great grandfather. When I click on that it sends me back to click for thread and so on. Am I doing something wrong?

Mayo / Paper Mills in County Mayo

Does anyone have any information regarding the existence of paper mills in Mayo during the 19th century? My great great grandfather is listed on his daughter's wedding certificate as having been a foreman in a paper mill there but I cannot find any evidence of the industry in those parts.
Any clues appreciated!
A confused owl!

My great great grandfather, Thomas Kelly who died in County Mayo circa 1878, is described as a Foreman in a Paper Mill on his daughter's marriage certificate. Does anyone have any information concerning the whereabouts of any paper mills in the Castlebar- Straide area? Failing that, does anyone have information regarding this industry existing at all in the 19th century in County Mayo? All suggestions gratefully received!

Yes, it is certainly beginning to look as if the error was in the spelling of Falfadda as Folfadda. I'll go with Falfadda! Many thanks for your help again!
A happier owl!
