Henry and Hannah Nash of Valencia Island

[Sunnyhill]

My great-grandfather Henry Nash was a coastguard stationed on Valencia Island up till about 1904. My grandmother Louise Nash was born there in 1900. I have a fair bit on the birth details etc of the family but would be good to hear more on their lives there if anyone knows of them.

Hello David,

The Valentia Island website gives details of the life of a lighthouse keeper on the Island. That of a coast guard would have been similar. http://indigo.ie/~cguiney/valentia.html Here's a link to the old coastguard station. www.pbase.com/digitalrebel/image/53408950
