Comments: Brilliant site I lived in Caledon briefly in the early 70's and went to Churchill Primary School. Reading all the comments on this excellent site is making fond memories flood back. It's a beautiful wee village and the folk there were wonderful. Loved the primary school and remember fondly Miss McCullough and Mrs McCabe the 2 teachers. Due to my Father's work we had to move to the big smoke and my new school tried to put me back a year as they thought what did she learn in a wee 2 room country school. She learn lots passed her 11 plus and ended up at uni all thanks to being taught one on one by Mrs Mccabe. Cheers Caledon alway remembered fondly.

Comments: Hi, Great site, I am researching my family that I have found in Caledon, William Lyall - I think was at Caledon Hill, Margaret Lyall (nee Tynan Gordon)- wife, daughters Jane Lyall married John Alexander, and Anne Lyall who I think married William Naye Landlord (possibly) of the Arms Hotel, if any names ring a bell I wouldn't be really grateful for any details. I have these details from the Calendar wills at Proni. I would love to know about Caledon Hill, which I think could possibly be Caledon Hall. William Lyall is mentioned as being a coachman on his will and William Naye Hotel-keeper, farmer and auctioneer! Thanks.

Comments: Very interesting site. My grandfather Frank Sherry worked in the woollen mill until 1892, when John Charles Smith sent him to Foxford in Co Mayo to help the Sisters of Charity set up a woollen mill there. He stayed in Foxford as mill manager until his death in 1949. He was joined in Foxford by his brother James Sherry and sister Kathleen Sherry, both of whom had lived in the Caledon area. I would be interested to know if there are still Sherrys in Caledon or the surrounding area who may be connected to the family.

Comments: This message is in reply to the guestbook entry by Dallis Manwaring from California. I am not certain, but it seems to me that you might be looking for the townland of KILLYNAUL (sometimes spelt "Killinaul" which is near Caledon and Minterburn in Co Tyrone. The place name you mentioned sounds like a mis-spelling of this. It's just a suggestion which, hopefully, might help get you back on track of your ancestors. Good luck.

Comments: Hi, I am replying to the guestbook entry from Billy Fitzsimons enquiring about the Gibsons who moved to glasgow in the 1960's. My gran's name was Margaret Martin and she lived in Caledon before settling in Glasgow and marrying my grandfather. However she had several brothers, who were called Gibson who came to live in Glasgow around that time. Unfortunately, I am no longer in contact with them. Maybe Mr Wray remembers my grandmother, any information would be greatly appreciated.
