Violet is front with blonde hair - Picture taken in Dundalk

E.Mail August 2014 - Hello , My name is Sandy McElveen and I live in South Carolina, USA. My grandmother was Violet Morgan from Newtownards and a staunch Catholic. I have always wondered how her particular family was Catholic when all of the surnames in her family were either Scottish, Welsh or even English.  Most all of the other families, with the same surnames, were Presbyterian/ Her parents were married in a Catholic church with names Morgan & Caldwell. Do you have any idea why? I see no native Irish names in her blood family at all.  Just Morgan, Caldwell, Gibson & Clarke. It really makes no sense. I have always wondered about this, but nobody knew. Even my cousin in England couldn't figure it out.If you can help with this , it really would be much appreciated. Thank you so much, Sandy Mac email.gif (1490 bytes)

10th. April 1893 - COLONEL WARING (Down, N.)
I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the insult offered to the National Flag by two soldiers of the Dublin Fusiliers now quartered for musketry practice at Newtownards; whether he is aware that about 9 p.m. on Saturday, 1st April, a corporal and private of that regiment tore down and trampled upon a Union Jack displayed as part of the decorations in honour of the visit of the right hon. Member for East Manchester on the house of Hugh Morgan, in South Street, and that, when remonstrated with for their conduct by the owner of the house, they assaulted him and James Wright who was with him, injuring both of them very seriously with their belts; what steps have been taken to punish these men for their conduct; and whether he will consider the propriety of suggesting to the Commander-in Chief in Ireland the advisability of recalling the detachment to head-quarters.
 MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN
The information I have received differs materially from that upon which the hon. and gallant Member appears to have based his question. The following telegram has been received from the General Officer Commanding at Belfast:— Report of incident at Newtownards greatly exaggerated. Two privates Royal Dublin Fusiliers engaged in a brawl with some civilians, all very drunk. Union Jack was not pulled down, and statement that men were encouraged by a corporal is false. Doubtful whether assault was committed by soldiers or by owners of premises. Both fought, and the soldier was severely injured.
