By any chance would you have record of a Mennonite Church that was in Port Huron, Michigan around 1900 and earlier? it was later (maybe 1903-1908 or so) broken down into two halves, and both halves where added on to houses in Port Huron...I know where half of it is, but have been trying to locate where the other half went...and what the church originally looked like? Any help would be appreciated:) thank you.

kristy Interesting question - thank you! I did a little looking and can tell you that the only counties in Michigan that had Mennonite settlements before 1879 were St. Joseph County, Branch County and Kent County. I find no reference of a Mennonite Church in Port Huron for the dates you mention. There was a United Missionary Church presence in Port Huron at that time, however, as early as 1903. This link will take you to a short article that describes the Michigan Conference of the United Missionary Church: gameo.org/index.php?title=Michigan_Conference_of_the_Miss... If you are interested in pursuing this you could contact the Missionary Church Archives: www.bethelcollege.edu/library/archives/mcarchives/ Hopefully this is helpful for you!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tynan_Abbey#Destruction_of_Tynan_Abbey Tynan Abbey in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, was a large neo-gothic-romantic country house built c. 1750 (later renovated c. 1815) and situated outside the village of Tynan. It was home to the Stronge family until 1981, when it was bombed; its ruins were demolished in 1998, having stood for 249 years.

Mr French / Lawrence was there at least twice; see this earlier photo with the trees testicularly topiaried ! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000318515

beachcomber australia "Testicularly Topiaried"????? That sounds positively painful:-(

I was wrong; the balls happened later than this! See this stereo pair and a similar one featuring a gent with a strange beard (he might be the topiarist!) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000560754 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336780 Ed. The 'gent' image was made into a postcard "c. 1905" - www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1905-tynan-abbey-now-destr...

Hogan was active in 1922, and this is 20 years later, so perhaps the gent on our right is more likely?

Niall McAuley Good point.

Perhaps at Westbrook Road off the Dundrum Road?

Keany is not a common name - the 1911 census shows only 3 people named Keany in County Dublin. Christopher Keany, 27, was an agricultural labourer, he and wife Alice are not a likely fit for this leafy suburb. I like Michael Keany, then 21, Electrical Engineer. He would be 52 in 1942.

That Michael Keany is from Sligo - there are 67 Keanys in the 1911 census in Sligo.
