Video

so sad looking at old photos but lovely at the same time

I am the Grandson of James & Alice Slevin of mullasiliago and my mother was Alice Slevin. I have been watching this video in memory of my mum, she passed away here in Redditch in Worcestershire on February 18th 2020. She was so proud to come from Fintona and always said you can take the girl from Fintona but never Fintona from the girl. She only ever had 1 regret in life and that was ever leaving. Watching this brings joy and sadness in equal measures, the sadness is that mum will never see her beloved Fintona again in this life. God bless you all, Dennis Gourley

Legend Pat !! What a character !!

Grew up here, left in 74 and been travelling the world ever since, brought my kids back a few times and now looking forward to bringing back my grandkids.

Great to see this. I'll be moving back to Near Fintona this summer after 30 years away, and this brings back so many memories. I was at king Street school in p4 and 5 . Super memories of long sunny summers . My mum was Maureen o' Callaghan who was P1 teacher in st Lawrence's. A lovely wee town to grow up in.

What year is this?

This video is something else. The sound tracks are marvelous. A fantastic tribute to Eddie and Molly to have such a great Family. Brilliant work John.. Thanks for this.

...Brown-Leckeys. Unfortunately this great house was demolished

22.57. This is Pat McCarneys shop now. When I was a child it was Eddie Corrigans.

At 21.31..God Rest Vincent Cunningham Who stood at the top of those steps each morning at 9.20 am . Clapped his hands and we all stopped playing in the Commons and went into school.

A very young Pat and Celene Mc Carney at 13.49

Is that Eugene McGirr at 08.03?. Certainly looks like him

Love it John.
