Down / Re: Plymouth Brethren in Dromore area
« on: Sunday 27 November 05 12:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hello OTTO

     strangely enough I also have been reading about the Plymouth Brethren in the Dromore area, although in the case of my ancestores (falloons) it is more hunch than fact.  However, I now seem to know an awful lot about them,but not what I needed to know particularly (names,families,journal etc - happy to share that with you in case there is anything there that would be of more use to you?)

Thanks for replying, does that mean I could check them from here in Plymouth at the library? Also Newry births?

well done francis - good for you (will still keep the moore/oneill connection in mind in Ireland in aug)

as for myself - a case of so near and yet so far.........

I found a picture of a Falloon (still living,but in England) who is the spit of my dad and apparently he was born and brought up on the Falls road in Belfast while my Dad was growing up in Dublin - the area he was told they were originally from.We would like to visit the monastery built specially for the mill girls who couldnt make the Mass at the usual parish church,because of their work, which is in the Falls.

The big question is - do we risk visiting the Falls or not when in Belfast in Aug? (The Marching Season of all times!!) So near but....

Will let you know

PS thought of another Moore! (Mary Tyler Moore show!) Am changing my rootschat time to Friday ams - maybe catch up then

Slainte,
Siobhain

ok

keep me posted if time - all the Irish enquiries are very interesting

siobhain

ps apparently, it was a proud boast of the Moorehall Estate that not a single estate worker died during the Famine - I think they were looked after

also, (I just cant stop can I?)........ dont forget Thomas Moores home (Jenkinstown) he wrote ,as Im sure you well know!! The Last Rose of Summer

pss Off to Ireland in Aug - will keep the names in mind,cant promise anything as might be unfair to drag Hubby and 5 children skulking round the graveyards in the (probable) rain!! Might get as far west as Claremorris, my absent-minded Dad 82 yrs thinks there may be Cullens there!!!!!

bye for now

Hello from Siobhain

had a quick look as promised and this may be way off beam but try looking in Mayo.There is an important family of Moores
at Moorehall House and they are just in the process of storing all the records - I only mention it as sure enough there is an English connection and  Arthur is a favourite name - many of them were famous!! in their time

I too have learnt something as I now realise that Arthur was the Christian name of the man who founded Sinn Fein - you live and learn - did Hanora keep the Moore part of her name
on purpose because it was important to her as a known family??? Also, there were Cullens at Claremorris down the road.

Do get back to me if you find anything - The Moores even have their own website - try typing in Moorehall

Nice talking to you,good luck,siobhain

Hello Robin from siobhain (falloon,cullen) thomas - also looking for family from Belfast

Just to say that "carrick" is anglicised from "carraig" meaning
rock as far as I remember so Carrickfergus would probably be
"the Rocky area belonging to the clan of Fergus" though Im not sure I remember it being nr Belfast

I am fairly new too,also enquiring on behalf of my dad 82, but have already found out masses of background general stuff inc street indexes and census returns for Belfast - I can point you in the right direction if you like

From my own position I can say that I have come to believe that the whole of NZ is populated by Falloons!!!!

I will bear the Gallagher name in mind next time I am scouring
a list for Cullens and Falloons - I am usually online every sat at this time and would be happy to share stories/info with you or your gran

happy looking and kind regards,
siobhain
