    (Mrs) My Home District.
    9-11-38
    I live in Blanchfields Park.
    There are nine families in it
    namely Kealys, Shortalls, Cullens,
    Byrnes. Langtons, Byrnes,
    Kennys, Kehoes. There are
    some (thath) thatched & slated
    Mrs Kehoe and Mrs Langton are
    over seventy . No woods in
    it. The river that flows through
    it is called "Park River". The
    reason it is called "Blanchfields
    Park" is because a family
    named "Blanchfields" lived in
    in & they owned a park there.
