  2. Weavers and Their Names

    Share Share Post
    A long time ago there lived in Weaver Street three weavers namely John Melia, Peter Marshal, and James Conor. These people used to weave flax into linen. The people around used buy this linen at about 7 per yard and out of this linen they used to make sheets, shirts, and towels. About forty years there lived in Cloghan two carpenters namely Patrick Craven and Pat Loonam. About sixty years ago there lived in coghan two blacksmits, their names were Jim Mulhare & Jimmie Carroll.
