    Gypsies are people of the road who travel around in large numbers and sleep by night in caravans. These caravans are drawn by horses.
    They trade in horses, ponies, tarpaulin mats and pictures. The colour of their horses is mostly pie-bald and it is said "the Gypsy maid with the pie-bald cob"
    The Sheridans are the leading Gypsies in this part of Ireland.
    They have other cars besides the caravans. When they go around it is one of the cars they take.
    They ask for hay and mangles for their horses and ponies. They go around looking for feathers for some reason or another.
