Hi Rose,

I would be interested to know if you found any pictures from this school - old ones that is. I have a lot of relatives from Kilkeel and lived in the area until I was 18. Many of the names in your posts are familiar as relatives. I might be able to help you out by quizing my parents who are in their 80's

Regards

David

Annie Newell was the daughter of Frank Newell of Newell's cross on the Rostrevor side of town. It had a post office I think and was yellow washed with red window frames. Frank I think had been out to Australia and made his money there.

Her siblings are buried in a small plot down the road - ones that died in childhood that is. Annie did indeed marry John - who was deaf and she died in 85 I think. She was a funny woman - wicked sense of humour, a Newell trait. Her favourite brother was another Frank who died relatively young. He was married to Isobel Wilson who was my great aunt.

Greencastle is on the southern tip not far from Kilkeel.

I do remember many of the names you are enquiring about though most are well before my time. My grandmother's sister was married to Bob Patterson and lived on the Windmill road after he passed away.

I was told that Annie was really Suzanne - by as my poor old Granny was dead by this stage, I couldn't ask her.
