Martha and Tommy McNeice lived in the next lane up from ours.  After Tommy died around 1976 we became quite close to Martha.  She was often to be seen pushing her bicycle up the Barnfield Road.  We also visited her quite often when she moved down into the little bungalow at the Cutts which her son, Robert built.  As far as I remember her daughter Vera and son Tom emigrated to America and still live there - I only recall Vera coming home once when her mum was in hospital.

I grew up on the Barnfield Road and spent my early years travelling around horse sales with my dad's best friend - Tony Watson, caretaker of Lagmore Dam.  I know he died in the late 70's, and I left the area in the late 80's.
