Hello
This is about 12/13 years possibly too late, and I've read some of the threads - so I'm not sure if this is connected.
My uncle currently works in stables in NYC, and has done so since the 1980s. His name is Brendan Fearon.
My family all come from the Newry area, with a family farm in a place called Rostrevor (which is 20 minutes by car from Newry Town, now city).
My Grandfather, born around 1934 was called John Fearon, his father was called Hugh Patrick Fearon (and I'm guesing was born around the 1900s)and his Uncle whom he inherited the farm from was called William (Willy) Fearon.
I could probably find more info - this is just from the top of my head.
