  1. The Cartrons

    Share Share Post
    There are five Cartrons Cartronfarry South, Cartronfarry North, Cartronfarry West, and there is a Cartron in Templeboy and there is another in Lisadell. A man put the people into a ship and brought them to Sligo Bay. He made a hole in the ship and let the people down to the bottom of the sea and let the ship down along with them. They got land down near the sea and some of them went to America. They were evicted the time of the famine. They went to America where they would earn their living.
