Claire's Ancestry - Photo Gallery

I have a great many old photos and thought I would share them. I will add more as I scan them in. I will add as much information I have (including anything written on the back). Who knows, you might find a long lost relative of your own

Please note: Some pictures may require you to save them in order to zoom in to see more clearly.


My father, Ernest McConville (left), pictured with Felix Quigley.	Ernest McConville (left) with his brother (my Uncle) Joseph McConville, taken around mid to late 1930s at Annashanco.	Ernest McConville (left) with a man. I think his name may be Jimmy Curran.	Ernest McConville taken in the yard at Annashanco in early 1950s.

Ernest McConville taken at the gate at Annashanco in the 1950s.	Joesph McConville (left) with my father, in Roslea, 1950s.	Felix Quigley and my Aunt Sarah at the gate at Annashanco in the 1950s or 1960s.	Ernest McConville with Frank Scott, who I think came from either Roslea or Monaghan (taken in 1960s).

My Uncle Joseph McConville on a motorbike, taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s.	My Grannie Susan McConville (nee Beggan) with Ernest, John, Joseph and two unknown girls.	My Grannie and an unknown man.	My Grannie outside the cottage at Annashanco.

Jimmy Curran, my Aunt Sarah, unknown girl and my Uncle Mark Jnr.	My great Aunt Margaret with Uncle Joseph, Ernest, Uncle John and two unknown girls.	The back of this photo says "Mick and Kathleen". I've been told they are Mich and Kathleen Scott but I think this man may be a Hurson. Maybe you know?	I don't know who these people are but i think they are from the Roslea area. Maybe you can tell me?

I am told this family amy be either Beggan or Donnellan.	I don't have a clue who these are. Do you?	This family was unknown to me but I have found out, thanks to James Mullan, that they are Mr and Mrs Patrick Connolly with Connolly and Beggan children, taken about 1954. The Beggan children are James's relations.	I have been told that this lady may be a Beggan.

Bridie Donnellan of Aughnacloy. I think this is a sister of the John Donnellan in the mass card and daughter of my Grannie's sister, Mary Ellen Beggan. On my copy it says Susie Donnellan but I have been told recently by an new found cousin that she is Bridie.	Margaret McCarren. She was an old girlfriend of my father and was from either Roslea or nearby. Her and her family emigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1953. One of her letters to my father leads me to believe that she is related to Cosgroves who were publicans.
