John - Agatha Doyle I don't know. We are trying to trace our ancestors and are making slow progress. I have a cousin in Grates Cove, Alice (Doyle) but I am not aware of her married name. She had a brother Kevin, who lived on Water Street in St Johns and passed away a short while ago. These are the only ones I know. My uncle was Ronald Doyle my mothers's brother.
Hi Bob,,,I was born in Grates Cove but moved just 30 minutes aways many years ago,,You had mensioned Alice Doyle and I know her very well ,,she married a Din Kelly as we called him,,,she has a daughter Geraldine Murphy in Bay de verde,,a son in grates cove raymond Kelly ,,and sean and a daughter Joeanne, Barrett in old perlican,,,If you are looking for some Info maybe you can contact raymond kelly in grates cove...Brenda Martin a grates cover...lol,
Hi Brenda.. Thank you. Alice (Doyle) Kelly is my first cousin. Her Dad Ron and my mother Agnes were brother and sister. If you ever see Alice or Geraldine please give them my email address and ask them to please drop me a note. Her brother Kevin passed away I believe.
yes i will do that for you or even better maybe you can find them on facebook,,,,But you will have contact with them soon,,,have a great evening,,,Brenda
Wow! You did a great job melding photos and music. WHat a wonderful tribute to your Dad! Looks like you are sharing with yet another generation. Hope she enjoys it as much as you do.
Thank you for sharing thi,.you brought a tear to my eye. Nana would tell us of how lovely it is and how we should make the trip, I have never been and have always wanted to go.....and now of course , I have to. You were lucky to have made that trip with your dad!
Lovely slideshow ...I really enjoyed it.You've come a long way baby. I sold my painting of Grates Cove this summer. I sold it through the Elizabeth Burry studio on Duckworth St. Didn't get to meet the people who bought it, of course but Elizabeth told me they were very happy to get a painting of Grates Cove. I miss it because it was a part of my living room for so long. Well four years is long! Take care. Are you home yet? Love to see videos of Portsmouth.
I grew up in grates cove. Gary and patsy doyle were my next door neighbors, and foster parents. A part is always there with them. If I could live there again i would in a heartbeat. I just wanted to let u know If about 9 mintues I was sitting on my front porch watching the fog roll in. THANK U SO MUCH
Hi John - great to see these pictures. I grew up in Grates Cove and spent many nights in the house that you bought. It was my Grandmothers house and my father and his brother built it way back then. I must admit - I am beyond homesick after watching this "slide show". Great Job. Lisa Doyle
Enjoyed the vid..
