  1. Long ago the travelling people used lodge in the houses but nowadays they are not as stiff in the houses because the people would not let them in as they would steal everything they would see.
    The travellers which usually call to our house are Wards and McDonaghs. These travellers come from all parts of the World, and they sell all sorts of things such as Scapulars, medils, laces, fongs ect.
    They do not carry their own supplies because the people give them alms.
