Down / Re: Scarva

If you or someone you know is on Facebook, there are pages for Scarva Tea Rooms and the local primary school. It's a pity the schools are almost on holidays as it would have been a good project for them to involve the kids in. Still, it might be worth a message to them.

Kilkenny / Re: Thomastown CO Kilkenny Ireland

Have an ancestor William McKeon (CofI) born 1812 who served in the RIC in Kilkenny all his career. He enlisted in Sligo.
I can find records of two of his children's deaths in 1871 in Powerstown, Graigue, but no sign of his wife's death (I believe she was Mary Prescott) or any children who survived, other than my gg grandmother Catherine, who was baptised in Fertagh (Johnstown).
I know there must be other children as some people describing themselves as 'the McKeons from Waterford (it may have been Wexford)' showed up at a family funeral in the 1990s but were gone before anyone spoke to them at any length. I know William served in Thomastown at some stage, but was in a number of the rural Kilkenny RIC stations.
They were fairly fluid on the old religion thing.

Dublin / Re: Where is this place and is it still there?

There is a large new student apartment building there now.
There is a primary school in St. Mary's place. There is a small chance they may have some older photos of the area. http://www.stmarysprimaryschool.ie/

Second letter looks like an 'a' to me. I think we would need a bigger image and more of the person's writing to compare.

https://britainfromabove.org.uk/ has some aerial images of Dublin in the 1950s which may be of interest to people. You can zoom in quite a lot.
