hi Charlotte, this is in reply to some earlier posts you made. you might already know this but here goes; The New Ferry wasnt known as such to the locals, it was simply The Ferry, The New Ferry was a name given to a different area, my uncle Pat Graffin moved from The Ferry to New Ferry. There WAS a photo of The Ferry, labelled 'New Ferry' on the wall of Ulster Folk And Transport Museum in the Transport section but i believe its now gone, it showed a scene of the 'street' from just off the main road. I visited the area when i was young with my mother Winifred McCloskey [nee Graffin] and Uncle Pat used to take us out onto River Bann on a boat. Another coincidence is my mother who died in 1985 is buried in Crebiily Cemetry, as is her sister Rosemary McGarry [nee Graffin]. Dont know if this is of any help to you, take care..................
