Re the question below from Mary Ellen Campbell about a McCann/Donnelly connection. On 29 April 1870 John Donnelly from Glenmore married Mary McCann (who had a brother Patrick McCann) from a couple of miles further up Glenmore. They had 11 children: Patrick (1871, my grandfather), Joseph (1873), Mary (1875), John (1877) (father of Matt Donnelly of the Central Bar), Rose Ann (1879), Peadar (1882) (hardware store in Dundalk), Catherine (1884), Bridget (1886), her twin Michael (1886) (business in Carlingford), Annie (1889), Ellen (about 1896).

A tribute to Nanny Jackie Woods
Nanny
Your smile brightens the room,
The joy you bring is priceless,
And your laugh is like an angels.
My role model,
Not only mine but all of ours,
When things went wrong, you kept us strong.
You never let us down,
Or under estimated us,
Thank you Nanny,
You're so special to all of us,
You play a huge part in our family.
