Aughnacloy
Hello,
My Mother Ellen Robinson was born in Aughnacloy in 1921--she ws called Lily by many of the family friends.
Her Father Alexander Robinson(-according to death cert had middle name of Harold) and I was given to believe was in RIC ? OR RUC,-,Ido have a picture of Alexander Robinson--in a uniform,which has foxed most experts,they say it is definately a Police Uniform--but cannot define RIC/RU,i I
MYSELF WAS BORN IN CO DOWN,at Newtownards Hospital- 1947 sadly they do not seem to have records of this amazing Birth !!!!
I was able once to visit Aughnacloy in early 70's my mother birth name Ellen Robinson,she had
sisters Molly ( who married John Bennet ) Georgina ( who married Jack Mc Dowell BETTY WHO MARRIED lOUIS PARSONS
some village people remembered the family--but as a teenager!! not then interesting! to me !!,
NOW OF COURSE -doing family tree-I am so fascinated by all this,I had a younger Brother Christopher who was an Royal Irish RANGER before it all got changed-Hope this helps place me-and my family-and any help would be appreciated.
I now live in BRTITANY IN FRANCE,so find it so difficult to find and trace my Ancestors,which is huge problem-if you do not know exactly where those ancestors where buried-I should mention Granny-Ellen Robinson-and Alexander signed the Covenant.-So there it is.I myself have no real religious persuasions due to divorce of parents in the 1950's SO HELLO AUGHNACLOY!!--any info would be grand--my cousin Joan MARRIED Ronnie Mc CALL AND LIVED IN mOY--if any help !xx
