Moylan family visit to Borrisoleigh 4 August 2022

Received the following email from Lorna Moloney  www.clansandsurnames.com

Dear All,

Today we had the most wonderful visit to Borrisoleigh. I had the pleasure of looking after the Moylan family group, their great grandfather left Borrisoleigh in 1895 on THE KENSINGTON’  three months after marrying Mary Ryan originally from Upperchurch. Philip Moylan has been mentioned in some of your publications as being part of the musical band from Borrisoleigh who went to Dublin in 1882. 
Winifred Moylan aged 70 lived in Main street, Borrisoleigh and we had the pleasure of locating Main Street, Borrisoleigh today. We gathered a lot of information researching for the visit on a number of themes and will be covering a radio show on it as there are links to Toomevara also. We just wanted to congratulate you on your beautiful location and how well it is kept especially the Church. It was a real privilege to visit today.”
