Hello Mary I have just finished a
genealogy course at Queens and was looking through your site when I
spotted the photo mentioned above the shop is in fact in Carnmoney
village, Newtownabbey, Co Antrim it belonged to the Pattersons until
the 1930s???? when my grandfather Israel Abernethy took it over and his
family my father (another Israel) and his brothers ran it until they
sold it in the 1980s? it is now a car showroom and has lost the top
story I am going to send you several more photos of the same shop and
you can see how it has changed over the years (see below) as has
Carnmoney village itself - the cottage beside it was replaced with a
substantial dwelling which was my grandparents house and my father still
lives there at the age of 86. Best wishes and thanks for the site I
find it all very interesting cheers Mr Israel Abernethy (Jnr.) |
