  1. Travelling Folk - Tinkers

    Share Share Post
    The Maughan's are a very old clan of travelling tinkers. They travel the most part of the Co. Mayo, and Galway. The men trade in buying and selling donkeys and horses and they make all kinds of tin vessels. The girls and women sell the tins as they travel through the country.
