People & Places of Cooley

I started building this site 12 years ago at a personal cost of approx €9000, +hosting €170 per year.It has been free to viewers for all those years.I'm getting old now and would not like to see it lost to the wider community, so to ensure someone takes it over after my time I have reluctently changed it to a yearly membership of €15. This way it will be easier to persuade the next generation to carry it on.

The site currently has 3900+ photographs and 100+ “Memories” contributions, of the people of Carlingford and the Cooley Peninsula, some back to the late 1800s. All of the people in the pictures are named.

In addition the site has photographs of the headstones, plus script, of all that can be deciphered in the 14 graveyards associated with the Cooley Peninsula.

You can search by Name, Place, Townland, Street, School, Communion, Confirmation, Harbour, Railway, Teams etc. If you have an association with a person somewhere abroad i.e. New York, Chicago, Liverpool, etc that will work too.

If you have pictures that you wish to add please copy and send to me and don’t let those memories die. We would love to hear from you.

I hope you enjoy it.

Kind Regards
Kevin Woods
