    Share Share Post
    There are travelling people still going to houses such as Tinkers Gipsies and fortune-tellers. They are the same people that call to the district for many years. they are not so poor. The Gipsies sell small articles such as mirrors, religious pictures, books, beads and pictures and statues. The tinkers get their supplies by begging their wants from house to house. They go about in caravans and carts. Their names are Mc Donagh's, Reilly's, Carr's and Lawrence's. They travell in families.
