    about five people over the age of seventy years still living in the district. Namely Ann Lynch, Mr and Mrs Doherty Mrs Kearney and Mrs Connor. Trillick got its name from the three head stones. No Irish is spoken the old people. All the old time stories are told in English. The houses are more numerous to day than in years gone by as new ones have been erected this last few years.
