"They would hardly walk the length of themselves"

About 1970 my mother gave me a copy of this article about my great grandmother that was a copy of a copy of a copy, etc. and was very faded and almost unreadable, but it was enough to get me started on my genealogy obsession.  As you can see by the note, a cousin, Anne Loughlin of Warrenpoint, went in search of the original article but had to settle for a copy at the library.  She was kind enough to share it with all of us on our family website and she even typed up the text to make it more readable.  Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get a copy of the photo.

This article is about my great grandmother, Lydia Hanna Loughlin, b. 1865, d. 1963; daughter of James and Charlotte Scott Hanna of County Down, Northern Ireland.  She married my great grandfather, James Loughlin in 1885, and lived in Lisnamulligan and raised a family of 12: Lizzie, Moses, William b. 1886, Charlotte b. 1887 (went to America in 1912), James b. 1891 (went to America in 1913) d. 1916, Ellen b. 1892, Robert Andrew (my grandfather; came to America in 1913) b.1893, Stewart (went to Scotland) b. 1895, Sarah Jane b. 1897, Annie b. 1900, Agnes b. 1902 (came to America about 1920) d. 1968 in America, and Lydia (Etta; went to Scotland) d. 1980.  (Not all names, info, and dates have been verified).
