    (continued from previous page)
    amongst the Villagers as "Haboo" lived in a big thatched house with his two sisters Nancy and Peg. The Villagers considered them so holy that their street was named "Nunnery Lane"
    2. Another holy family were the Misses Harney - Annie & Peggy. They had the Rosary recited twice weekly for the Village folk, and Novenas for the third night.
    Around Xmas they fixed up a Crib which was lighted up with home-made candles. Crowds used to join in the prayers and Hymn Singing.
