  1. Beggars, tramps and tinkers call at out house occasionally.
    It is the same who always call,
    The tinker Wards come from Twan and Reillys are the names of other tinkers around here,
    My parents do not know here they came from but I think they have homes in Roscommon.
    They sleep out in caravans of canvas made by themselves.
    They are always looking for charity and money is the charity they like best.
