Hi Catherine and anyone else involved with this website you are doing a fantastic job I just love it. It is great seeing all the photos and keeping up with what is happening around the Parish.Tell Marie Campbell and Kathleen McAvoy they are looking really well. My sister Rita and I log in all the time to see what is happening. I loved the old photos of Gilford and seeing my mum & dad in the Gilford Hall photos, I even found myself in the School photo. Keep up the good work you are making a lot of expats very happy

Loved the photos of the TLC ladies in Sperrinview, everyone looked as if they were having a great time. Now when are they going to come and visit Oakwood in Belfast???

Sad to see the sorry state of Ballydougan hall.In the sixties I was one of the many lads from the area who was "shanghaied" by Tommy Moore & Co. to paint the hall and get it ready for masses while the chapel was being renovated. I can still see it .top half white, bottom half green. Afterwards it was turned into a youth club where many a romance blossomed

Great website

Dear Catherine, I really loved the section on the Tullylish G.F.C.'s 125th Anniversary, especially the pictures of folk I knew in the Parish. Some of these guys I knew personally, Paddy MacFlynn; Plunkett Campbell ( playing the spoons fame) Pat McEvoy; Greg McCartan; Cathleen Cunningham, to name but a few. and the McCartan bros.( famous Down players in the sixties.) My memory is still sharp.I had the privilege to sit INSIDE the Sam Maguire!!! in 1961, many moons ago. I would like to get in contact with these guys by e-mail or TXT ,so you have my permission to disclose my e-mail address. Could you also put these pictures of me and my Italian work-mate on the website. Thanks in anticipation. Regards, .

Hi just a quick note,keeping an eye on the website,I think it is great that we can follow the life in Gilford from our computer screen. Will be visiting Gilford from the 20th if it could be possible for me could I visit the TLC group, I am really interested to see some of their work and maybe get a few hints and a pattern or two Agnes

Searching my family history has brought me to your Tullylish website, apparently James Hewton and Jane Hawthorn were married at Tullylish in 1849. It looks beautiful, hopefully one day I will visit. loved the photos and the haunting music. Thank you, Good health and happiness.

Hi, just came across this site as I was undertaking some research. The thing is Im looking for any historical or local data on my great grandfather William Hugh Boyle whom I believe was a national school teacher in the town up until late 1920s. I would appreciate the help. Kind Regards Kevin Boyle

Dear Catherine I'm really supposed to be working but got hooked browsing the Tullylish website so now I also take the opportunity to tell you all how wonderful the website is – it brings me back into the heart of the parish and animates you all so I do not feel so very far away. Great to read everybody else’s comments. Keep up the great work!!!! Sr Bernadette

Have spent hours trawling your wonderful site, Mary warned me of the Tullylish Ladies photo, gosh did I really look like that? Do you remember when we made our confirmation and you, Mary O'Dowd and I were chosen to go up to meet the Bishop? I remember your mother RIP whispering to my mum that "they knew the ones to pick". Hope you are well and thanks again for a super site.

My sister Dolores told me about the site really enjoyed seeing faces from long ago especially my nephew lee wedding photos a nice reminder of Gilford keep up the good work

Tullylish GAC will be celebrating 125 years of the GAA on Sunday 10th May. As part of this day it is hoped to have a display of photos, newspaper articles videos. If any one has anything that they could donate for the day contact Fionntán O'Dowd on 07709336264
