Dear Mr. Weir,
What a delight it was to come across your photo pages! I am an American woman with a very close internet friend who lives and works in Portadown, and I thoroughly enjoyed 'visiting' her area through your camera lens.
Your photos give wonderful insight into the fascinating combination of ancient and modern surroundings, friendly residents, and what I consider the magical intrigue of a far-away land. One day I hope to visit and see for myself!
For now, I'll be checking back often in the hopes that more of your photos will be available. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Carol Jones

HI!
I want to thank you for posting your beautiful pictures of Portadown.
I just located the marriage certificate of our ancestors who we now
know were married at St Marks Church He lived in Lurgan she in
Portadown. It was a wonderful experience to view the countryside and
the culture that was once theirs. Thank you ever so much for your
wonderful talent and vision and for sharing it with us all.

Hello, My name is Amy Cargill Waltz. My grandmother, Isobelle Allen Cargill lived at 33 Mourneview Street and I wondered if any of the photos you have displayed are of that general area. I am very curious to see what she left when she came to the States in 1923.
Thank you,
Amy

I've been trying to get to look at some of the photos attached to your website, especially those with Jeff Kerr et al, but can't seem to find them.
How can I do this?

Dear Mr. Weir:
I enjoyed your website and pics. very much. I came
upon it while searching for clues in Portadown.
Clues regarding my paternal grandmother. I have been
searching for her since my father died some 25 years
ago.
My name is Arthur O'Hare and I live in Ontario Canada.
My father's name also was Arthur O'Hare.
He was born at 117 West St. in Portadown on Jan. 24
1910. He was adopted as a baby by Arthur and Lucy
O'Hare Sr.
His birth parents were Joseph Irwin and Alice Reidy.
Joseph Irwin I know about, however Alice Reidy is a
mystery. Who she was, where she came from, where
she went after the birth is an unknown.
I have spent alot of time and money trying to trace her,
all to no avail. I do believe they were not married but I
could be wrong on that.
I would like to ask anyone who reads your site if they
know anything about Alice Reidy who would have been
in the Portadown area circa 1910 to please contact me
at artshirl@sympatico.ca and believe me I would be
most appreciatve.
Thank you so much for allowing me to use your site. As
I said I enjoy the pictures and will continue to peruse them.
Yours truly Arthur O'hare. | |
