    Hi all,
    just wondering if anyone remembers a shop call the Hindenburg up off the road on Slievekeale.
    Anyone have a bit of history on it or know why on earth the owners would choose to name their shop after an airship that met a disastrous end?

    The lady that owned it was called Mary Jo Hennebry AFAIR. See your point about the airship alright!:)

    That shop was named De Hindeburg,which is a Danish/Germanic (in origin)variation of Hennebry/Henneberry.

    Cheers guys.
    I'm assuming there were German or Danish links in the family so.

    Many thanks.
