After a recent DNA test I found out I am 31% Irish from Tipperary. My dad was adopted at birth from Newcastle upon Tyne & all the Irish is from his side. Hope to visit one day!
I was born and still live in Hexham Northumberland. My mother was born in Killoscully, between Nenagh and Newport, Tipperary and in 1947 came to Haydon Bridge, aged 20, via London, to work at the School for the Blind, now part of Haydon Bridge High School. She married my father in 1953. My grandfather, Timothy O’Brien, was a member of the Tipperary IRA and my brother has a medal given to him by the Irish Government. My grandmother told stories of her encounters with the dreaded Black and Tans as a young woman. My brother, known locally as Sean the Cowboy, now lives in Tipperary, not far from the farm where my mother was born and raised.
This is a poignant story for me. My father was born in Tipperary in 1917. I know two of his uncles fought in the civil war on opposite sides. Their brother, my grandfather was warned that he should get his family out of Ireland and in 1922 my father, age 5 and 3 siblings left Ireland with my grandmother, for America where my grandfather was waiting. Thus began a new life in NYC. From Brooklyn, to Bayside and out to Long Island. Eventually spreading across America.
2:02 - That doesn't look like some kind of city gathering of the tolls. That looks like a criminal shakedown*. * Yeah, I know. Let's not get into that one.
My dad's family were from Tipp Town. There were the Wall family who lived on the New Road. As was sadly too often the case, they all emigrated to London. Not sure if anyone with surname Wall lives there anymore?
My History of Ireland's studies have gone too far and now i find this on my home.
Im italian so, for me, it's a long way to Tipperary
Really interesting. Everyone with any interest in Tipp town should see this. (Surprised at how good it was!)

A nice review of Tipperary Town Con Horan Newbridge Kildare
There's a lot of history here for sure, it's been very satisfying to put these together and learn some of it.
Up the Lilywhites , and I say this as a Tipp man..On the Lilys..
Yall know daniel corial?
Very interesting by top notch historian des murnane 82 Irishmen killed in area in war independence showed a big part in it
3:25 - It's a shame most of that row of shops on the right have redone their facades for residential use.

I have just stumbled across this: and have hugely enjoyed it. I was born in Co.Leitrim and wish that there was such a video about my home.
Immensely pleasing that you enjoyed it so much, I hope we can continue to meet that standard.
