Hi Listers, Old and New.

I am posting this request again in the hope that there are some new (and
old) listers out there who may not have seen my original postings some
months ago. I have had some response to my previous requests but I have yet
to find anyone who may have lived or worked in this area of Co.Laois (or you
know someone who comes from this area) and who knows anything about the life
and times of these villages during the period of the early 1900's.

The names of the places are:

BALLICKMOYLER
ARLESS
BALLYNAGALL
COOPER HILL

Anyone who may have stories, tales, photos or postcards about these places.
Family names who lived or worked in these areas. Industries associated with
these villages in the past.
Anything at all that will help me build up a picture of what life was like
in these areas during the 18 and 1900's.

There was a Brass Band in Arless in the 1920's, what happened to it?
There was a Tile Factory in the area, but where was it located and how big
was it?
Where did the Stone come from for the building of the present Arless Chapel?
There was Dancing Boards in Arless at one time, but where were the Boards
located?
What year was the Technology School ('Tech school') built in Arless?
Where is the place known as Ballickmoyler Upper located (mentioned in
Griffiths Valuation)?

These are just some of the questions I have about this part of Co.Laois.. I
hope someone will be able to help me with my work.


Regards and good luck with your research
