Mary Byrne grew up in a village area called Dromintee, just down from Fork Hill in County Armagh. She lived on the Colony Road. Mary’s father was called Barney and her mother was called Bridget.
Barney had a glass eye, Bridget was a lovely lady. I got to know them later on in life. Mary was one of a family of eight and Mary would have rode her bike from Fork Hill into Newry or at some point in time.
She met John Byrne, who came from Ban Road, Tolley Eire, now known as the Auchnacloy Road. Mary and John would have gone to the dances and met up on their bikes for dates and they eventually married in 1961 and adopted a son in 1964.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
