Hello allI am wondering if there is anyone who has some local knowledge about
the border between Tyrone and Donegal at Clady. My family were split in two by
the border in 1921, although the Donegal members seemed to have managed to
continue attending their church in Tyrone ( Urney Presbyterian) and my father
born in Tyrone seems to have known his mother's family home in Donegal. Their
route across the border was via Clady Bridge over the river Finn. I have been
reading about the establishment of customs posts and how it affected people
living along the border. Does anyone know if clady Bridge was an approved
crossing or not, and how easy was it to move between the two counties there? I
know movement on foot was allowed and restrictions were introduced on motor
vehicles but what about horse drawn carriages?I would be grateful for any
information or thoughts that anyone has.Regards Marion Shephard Sent from my
