This is a picture of Mary Ann Hayden's wedding in 1917. Mary Ann was from Crannagh in Rathanna. She married an Edward Browne of Ballywilliam. Mary Ann was a sister of James Hayden (centre back of picture) who was shot in Rathanna in 1920. James was walking home from mass when shot by Auxiliaries who were out searching for the Column. James is also remembered on the Grotto stone in Ballymurphy. Lovely picture sent in by relations of the Haydens. They would love to see some more pictures of the Haydens if anyone has them.

Hi folks looking for some information. This is John Lyons of Ballyroughan Borris. He was Born in Borris roughly 1881 to Andrew Lyons Ballyroughan and Maria Lyons (nee Murphy) Courtnellan. They moved to Liverpool shortly after John was born. Their desendents were recently in Borris trying to trace any relations and would love any pictures or stories of Johns relations. They are also very interested in trying to find any information on Johns mother, Maria Murphy. Thanks everyone.

Hi Looking for a bit of help tracing a person from Ballymurphy. It is the 80th anniversary this year of Carlows vistory in the Leinster Football finall of 1944. Four great Gaels from the parish of Borris were on the panel. Ted Joyce of Borris, Luke Kelly Borris, Brian O Rourke Ballymurphy and Mattie Doyle Ballinagrane. Carlow GAA are trying to trace Brian O Rourke to see what happened to him once he left the area. He was living in Knockmore Ballymurphy around 1944 before he moved out of the area. It is understood that he joined the army before this. If anybody has any information regarding Brian then maybe you could drop me a message. Thanks Very much.
