  1. Long ago there lived a man in Sragh with his sister by the name of Dennis McGrath.
    He had a spinning wheel, and when his neighbours needed clothes they brought him the wool out of which he made thread and from that to cloth.
    The McGraths were very found of card playing and when he was dying he said "give out the cards".
    There also lived a woman in Irneggh??? who had a spinning wheel she was known as the weaver.
