Hi-ya Chris, you must be a mind reader thats what i was just doing i was in google looking for it but didn't find much. I was at my Mums yesterday have a wee Hoke in her drawers lol (dressing table Drawers that is) and I came across a letter my Gran sent her when she was getting married to my Dad, you see my Mum and Dad married in Birmingham. Any way Mum had wrote home for her Baptism lines and Confirmation lines to be posted over (you need these to get married Apparently)   The letter was dated 28th Aug 1956 mum married on the 12th of September 56.
In the letter my Gran says find enclosed your Baptism lines all i can tell you about your Confirmation is that it took place in Coalisland Co Tyrone in 1944, As you know you went from Stewart Hall in cars along with your teachers who were also your Sponsors, I do not know the name of the Church But i do know you were Confirmed.

So here i am trying to find the church and a little bit about Stewart Hall.

Colette,

What a lovely expression "a wee hoke through her drawers" It was very kind of you to take the trouble to explain precisely what you were doing although that was not necessary. My mother's parents came from the Ballyeaston, Ballyclare area and Mother (who died in the 1980s) was born in the north of Ireland in 1909.

Dad, although born in Liverpool (the Capital of Ireland) was educated at Galway Grammar School. He spent all his working days in the north of Ireland and was well versed in the colloquialisms and vernacular of this part of the world.

All the Best to you Colette,

Chris

 :( While this may be off subject just a bit, I thought it was interesting that the subject should come up. 

Stuart Hall was a very exclusive girls high school located in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco.  That and the convent, for the Lone Mountain Girls College (now part of USF), were located in some of the most exclusive mansions of the City. Run by the religious of Sacred Heart there was a hearty connection between it and the Jesuit's schools.

 ;D At one time it also had a boy's school, but they have all been brought together.  However, the initiation is steep: $41000 for a year's schooling.

Mother Helen Carroll was the principal at the boy's school.  And her brother, Father Patrick Joseph Carroll was a Jesuit.  They were the children of Thomas and Kitty Carroll, once residents of the Eskragh valley of County Tyrone, and now of San Francisco.  They were also the cousins to Mikey McCarroll, the Fintona public house proprietor, who married Agnes Bridget Gaffigan.

So, you can say that a different Stuart Hall holds a special place for me.  8)

 
Carroll, McCarroll, McCusker and McCosker from County Tyrone. Then there are Dillen for Derry, Gaffigan, McGaffigan, Crennan, and Amos.  Now adding: Leonard, Berry, and Gahagan from Strokestown, County Roscommon, also Gahigan, Hounihan, and Whonohan and another branch of Carrolls from County Cork.
