F.A.O. Lana O'Connell
please contact me as I am 99.99% sure that I have correct information re Kate O'Connell of Ballynaraw, Bunninadden, Sligo.Her land was across the road from my grandmother in laws house, Flowerhill, Bunninadden.She and Kate knew each other very well.Ballynaraw and Flowerhill would be the townland names and Bunninadden or Bunnanadden is the village name.
pubs which I can remember Scanlons, McDermotts, mentioned in your roots web as merchants, these pubs were still operating up to 10 years ago.We havent been down in a long while as my husbands granny died 10 yrs ago.My husband remembers Kate bringing over boxes of bananas to his grandmothers for him and his brothers and sisters when they used to be down for the summer.
Apparently Kates house became derelict, roof caved in and she had to move out of the house and stay with a neighbour in the village.
Contact me as I may be able to help you further, even with where to research records etc.its a hard job especially when you are abroad.
