    Not sure if anyone on the boards can help, I left Thurles in the 80s and live in the US, Ive been touching base with some old friends since the covid hit some that I haven't been in touch with for a very long time.
    One I can't seem to get a hold of is a girl I knew back in the 80s when she lived in Collins park, name was Ann Marie Jordan.
    last time we spoke was early 90s, she was living in Dublin and had married, I don't recall her married name, I believe she had one brother and three sisters. I'd be glad to compensate someone for their time if I get results, Cheers.

    Below is a newspaper article that mentions Annmarie Jordan from Thurles - maybe you could contact the organisers of the event. if it is not the same annmarie well maybe its a relative?

    Thank you for the link, doesn't look like the same one, she could have been a granny in 2000, but I doubt it she would have been 35.
    There was another girl with the same name and about the same age that lived in Kennedy park, I think they were related, they were also related to Jordans that lived in Bohernanave. I don't think she kept in close contact with any cousins after moving away.
    She was the eldest of the family with one brother and three sisters, I don't recall all their names but the next eldest was a girl called Jackie, that kept small dogs, someone told me she may have opened or tried to open a pet shop on Friar St in the mid 90s.
    unfortunately I moved to the US pre internet, it's a little easier to find male friends as their name remains the same, but I wood assume all her sisters are married by now with different surnames. I just thought if anybody knew the family they may be able to tell me what the surnames are and I could probably look them up on Facebook etc.

    All those Jordan's up in the parks and Bohernanave would be connected. I'm sure somebody from there with that surname on facebook would be able to steer you in the right direction.

    Mission accomplished, if perhaps one of the mods could delete this, thanks.
