Thanks for info.
The drapery ( maybe menswear) was opposite what is now The Darnley lodge.

Daffy's does have a bit of a ring to it ok..

The barber was opposite side of the street to Faulkner.

Hi folks
In the 1950s/60s there was a barber on Connaught st.  Would anyone know who that man was by any chance.
Also In the 1970s there was a nightclub further up the street near the T junction.  Would anyone know what it was called.
On the main street there was a drapers shop called Fitzpatrick's but what was it called originally.
Thanks

Hi folks..
Would anyone have any info on the Farrell family from Moygrehan..
Parents names were John and Bridget..
There were  five or six children. Sonny and Jack included. Daughters included May and Elizabeth.
Q. When did the parents die..
They were probably born 1870/80s.
Thanks for any info.

Tkx again for all the info..
It looks looks Rita Quinlivan  took  over as principal from Patrick McDonnell on his retirement.  Mrs Marmion  probably started teaching there in 1927 and then on the death of Rita in 1937 to over as principal.
It looks like we now need to find who was there before P. Mc Donnell .

I'm not looking for any teacher in particular at the moment..
It would be great if we could work our way back all the way to 1846..

I have to say a great response to my query.
Tkx

To give some sense of time period:

Newspaper snippet 1958 Drogheda Argus
Mrs J ‘Maranon’ , principal, retired after 31 years at Girley.

1964
Mrs Teresa Smith retired after 40 years service

There are a couple of other snippets but much earlier

What years are you interested  in?

Thank you for the articles above.  A lot of very interesting items there.
Do you have any info on who the teachers were.  I heard there was a Miss T Smith from Kells . There was a Pat Crowley who was from Kerry and before that a Mrs Marmion.
I would like to know who was there before that.
Thanks

Both people are long dead. They were probably born somewhere between 1910-1920. Jack probably was John as I think his father was John.  Jack had one brother and three or four sisters.
I would like to know who Lizzy was before marriage and where she came from etc.
Thanks
