Westmeath / Re: Carrigys of Ballynacarrigy

Hi Street Carrigy

I'm referring to the fact that here in Ireland 2013 is the year of 'The Gathering'. People are encouraged to getogether to celebrate with friends and family from home and abroad. I wondered if there was anything planned for Westmeath?

Greetings to your mother on her 99th on 9th.

Sugarloaf.

No postings for a long time. Trying to get going again. Any talk of a 'Gathering'?

Hello again

Its been a while since I looked in here. Am now trying to get the ball rolling about making contact and maybe getting people together in the summer. Delighted that your mum has improved (heard about her from G at Christmas).

Hope all is well with you. Keep in touch.

Bye from Sugarloaf.

Don't mind those Lynchs. You just stick to the Carrigys and perhaps we can have a get together in Mullingar or Castlepollard next year?

We'll try to get Berney's side, who have been on this site,  in again and not forgetting the Dalys.

Glad you picked up my message so quickly Ann. Yes, it would be lovely to make better contact. I live in Co. Wicklow and have met Tony a few times over the years. There is always talk of a big Carrigy get together but of course it has never happened.

I'm completely new to this site so don't know how to make contact confidentially. We'll have to figure that one out. You have probably already looked at the Irish 1901 and 1911 census. There you will see the family names including of course Margaret. I remember her with great fondness. We always had a pet name for her, Auntie Baa. We never call her anything else. Don't ask me where that came from.

Look forward to more contact and maybe some of the others will pick up too.

Bye now, Eileen.

Hello to all the Carrigys.

I am Lily Carrigy's daughter, Eileen. I have a fair bit of information on the family tree. Messages appear to be from Tommy's and Pat's family (my cousins). And Niamh, the Cork connection. I was in Westmeath recently. Stayed in Castlepollard. Lake Deveravaragh is still much the same as when my grandparents lived there - Ann and Peter Carrigy -farming land etc. Only the houses and the cars show the passing of the years.

My mother took lots of photos and I have some of the family getogether in Faughalstown with lots of children in them. Hope someone picks up on this as it is some time since you were on the site.

Eileen
