Thread Name: Origins: There Were Roses (Tommy Sands)
Subject: RE: 'There Were Roses' Query
Peter I think that Tommy came from around the Hilltown area in Co. Down so the place names could be from there. The names sound like local place names. Roads etc. were sometimes named for prominent families that lived in the area. eg Ryan road or Ryan's road. His brother, I think its Colum has a recording studio in Rostrevor. I used to go to school with his cousins who lived in a small place called Turlough's hill. Den
