Malahide Memories 6: The Talbots

[@bonkeykong9243]

My Grandmother is a relation of Rose and Milo. My Nanny's grandmother was a Coolahan but her maiden name was Talbot. Margaret Talbot of Malahide. I believe she was sister of James but she married Catholic. Nanny referred to 'Milo' as Uncle Milo and Rose as Aunty Rose - supposedly Milo was very aloof and quite cold. Nanny said Rose was a gem. A beautiful soul. Even though they were first cousins twice removed.

Eddie, thanks for these. Great memories. Regarding Rose Talbot and the Samaritans, I have a long-standing friend in Swords who was in the Samaritans at the same time and he told me many years ago that she was highly regarded by other members as a very good member, compassionate, and a good listener.

Hi Joe, Thanks for this. That's great to hear and so good she was fondly remembered by all. She was always very kind to my mother and was a real people-person. Eddie.

Do you remember the man who lived in the gate lodge called cole? He was a train driver as far as I remember and I went to school with his son in the early 70’s.
