This is a translation of an article from Ecuador which explains why the planes were flying from Ecuador to UK and how the one which crashed in Dunmore got into difficulties.

Hi Marbur,
I have connections with Burkes, in Dunmore Co Galway, and they are & were tailors as far back as any one can remember. Unfortunately, I have no records of your Martin or his father James, but I will investigate for you.

Hi Tompion,
Dunmore House is still standing, but is derelict now. It is in the centre of The Dunmore Demesne Golf Club. There are many phots of it, but I have to root them out, will scan them and email them to you.

Hi Breen,
there was a very big twilight zone in Ireland around the time of the War if Independence and Civil War. There were many Irishmen who fought in the British Army arounf that time, and when they returned home (IF they COULD return home) they were despised by fellow Irishmen, and despised by the Black & Tans just for being Irish. It was a very bad time in our history.
Louth Lodge: I asked an old school teacher of mine (well she's not really old yet, but retired from teaching now) about the row of cottages. There is a row of houses still in Louth Lodge that were once just plain cottages but have been modernised in the last 30 - 40 years. There is only one of the original cottages remaining.
I have found a map of Dunmore from 1929, and will scan it and put up here (if I can) the image with Quarter, Lissybroder (Louth Lodge) outlined, and the location of the derilict 2 storey house and a picture of the house as it is today.

« on: Friday 19 March 10 19:21 GMT (UK) »Hello,
I have been researching my family tree and am trying to piece together final links. Anne Heneghan nee Warde lived in Quater, Dunmore, Co. Galway. She was married to Thomas Heneghan, both have sadly passed away. It would be great to know where Anne was from?
Thanks
Hi Greenleaf - Quarter is a neighbouring townland to Louth Lodge. And there are Wardes & Heneghans to this day in Louth Lodge. It was customary for people to marry locally, so it is very possible that Anne is from the area also.
Do you have any dates?
Chris
