The migration of 26 families from Joyce Country to Meath in 1940

GalwayClonbur (Galway)

Due to the overcrowding in places such as Cloughbrack, the government resettled 26 families in Meath. I know some of the families but not all. Does anyone have a comprehensive list?

Dear RW:

Thanks for this information. This would be a very good timeline event to note. I do not know of a comprehensive list, but it is worth trying to find out. I will also make enquiries and let you know via this post if I find anything.

Anyone out there with a list?

Jane.
