Absolutely amazing! I can tell you that your family has been on many occasions fondly remembered by my Mam and Dad. My Dad sadly passed back in 2003. Your house was on the edge of Mullinamoy Lane and you are not going to believe this  :D but when I was about the size of a milk bottle I can remember your Mum coming into the shop and telling my parents to bring me out to your house sometime. It might have been around the time your family was leaving but I can remember when I was brought out, your lovely Mum very kindly gave me a large spinning top from one of your family's toy boxes. This is a very strong memory for me because I remember her kindness and had a lot of fun with that Spinning Top. I hope you're not looking for it back now  :(   :D
It's a small small world isn't it  :o

Hi

Here is a link for another video of rare cine film taken by my Dad, Mannix, in Clones in 1964/65.

Thanks again everyone for your compliments on my first Clones video :)

Thank You all for your kind words on the video. We Clones folk, inhabitants, ex inhabitants and ancestors must stick together. As James in the Lennard Arms Hotel always says, "You're never alone when you're a Clone." ;D

Hello, this is very interesting because we did not know anything about the wider family. So your Great Grandmother would have been my Grand Aunt. It seems that the Whytes scattered far and wide away from Ireland very early on. Though William Henry (your Great Grand Uncle) lived in Clones until his death in 1945. Only one of Elizabeth's nephews (now deceased) lived all his life with his own family in Clones.  I think I might be able to pick up a few threads for you.

Hello AprilAllen, looks like Elizabeth Whyte born 8th July 1893 was my Grandfather's (William Henry) sister.
