Hi balliali

Try the following

SHYLOTMEN - Noel Smyth

DAMPLYCLINKED - Paddy McKillen

HEARANGRY - Ray Grehan

HENPROVENSENT - I am stuck on this one and would appreciate any help

Also I have "I Jolly Leer" solved as Joe Reilly however the man i am thinking off is Joe O'Reilly of Castlethorn Construction. Any thoughts?

Stephen Vernon.

In Cavan where all the Reillys/O'Reillys come from it is often interchangeable.

Thank you both very much for that. There were 10 anagrams in total in the quiz, and I had got six of them. Funnily I was going with Henly for SHYLOTMEN and just Googling possible answers. Also I was looking out for Elliott and other prominent ones in other areas of the country. However, thank you so much for taking the time to work them out. What a way to spend the New Year's eve! Enjoy every moment of 2010 and best wishes in all your comps and puzzles. Thanks again.
