    Wish I could help Dancehall, but all the old biddies I know that started school way back in 1946 (the year I was born) are all either pushing up dasies now or else wont speak to the likes of me.

                              Hi Mary,
                              Thanks for answer,156 was down the left side of our road other side of Sperrin,I knew a good few people down that side cant remember Phelans,you left Dublin the same year myself husband and children left to go to Canada,I'm now living in Florida, I go home every year and as if I never left I fall back in to everything there, although a lot of things have changed, but no matter where we live our hearts are still there. Sorry about your arm but at least it will get o.k. soon, have a great time when you go over the water.Thank you again, Anna
