Belfast History and Memories / Re: Sandy Row
« Last post by boops on Today at 02:28:31 PM »Hi John, I do not remember grannie Moore but I remember Davie's sister living there , John, I did not know that the family went to Canada ,
I hope life was good for them there.
When I was a child my dad told us a story about his older brother William and Mr Moore going to Canada as young men in the 1930's they had to work on a farm
and each night they were locked up till morning ,I do not remember for how long they were there but they managed to escape and make their
way back home to Belfast, their parents were informed that the two lads had stowed away and would be released when their fares were paid for
so my wee granny went down to the docks, payed the cost and got her son home again. It just seemed like a story ,until I was putting together a family tree
seventy odd years after hearing this tale ,when Ancestry.co . sent me a hint and I realised the story was true
As to age, I am 81 and send you early Birthday greetings also God bless and keep you safe and well .. B
