@@tomasjoconnel5367 hi there! O'Brien (of course 😅 in fact my great grandfather O'Brien married an O'Brien woman from Cappamore) and Collins. Nellie O'Brien (of the pub) was my grandfather's cousin. The families lived St. Michael's avenue (bullring), Old road, Carronreddy, Bank place. My grandfather was born in Goats lane (behind Bradshaws). I was thinking about Tipp last week with all the D Day/Normandy commemorations as my mum's uncle (from the town) was wounded in Normandy (sadly he was later killed fighting in Germany right at the end of the war). Patrick O'Brien; he was 22.

@@James_RC My mothers family-The McNultys, all grew up in St Michaels Ave. No 138. My grandmothers family, on the same side, lived in Bank place. I think they had a chip shop at one stage. I knew the guy that owned Nellie OBriens in the 1980s. I grew up on the other side of town, near what was called the Barracks. The name Patrick OBrien is very familiar, but I can't quite place him or who told me about him

My dad's family were from Tipp Town. There were the Wall family who lived on the New Road. As was sadly too often the case, they all emigrated to London. Not sure if anyone with surname Wall lives there anymore?

I was born and still live in Hexham Northumberland. My mother was born in Killoscully, between Nenagh and Newport, Tipperary and in 1947 came to Haydon Bridge, aged 20, via London, to work at the School for the Blind, now part of Haydon Bridge High School. She married my father in 1953. My grandfather, Timothy O’Brien, was a member of the Tipperary IRA and my brother has a medal given to him by the Irish Government. My grandmother told stories of her encounters with the dreaded Black and Tans as a young woman. My brother, known locally as Sean the Cowboy, now lives in Tipperary, not far from the farm where my mother was born and raised.

An excellent production thanks to all involved. My grandparents (as children) and their families lived through these times in the town. Some of the men folk had joined the British army before the First World War (often due to hardship) and served overseas including in India. During the war some served in the 10th Irish Division with the Royal Irish Regiment at both Gallipoli and Salonika, one saw action in the Middle East at Kut and one was later serving with the Connaught Rangers in India during their failed mutiny in 1920 in protest at the Tans' behaviour in Ireland. My great grandfather William (from Goats Lane) joined the 7th Royal Irish Fusiliers at Tipperary barracks in May 1915 and it's interesting to note that during Easter week 1916 he and his comrades of the 16th Irish Division were gassed in trenches at Hulluch near Ypres and sustained terrible losses - a lesser known aspect of Irishmen under arms during that fateful week.
