    My Home District, by Olive Kealey.
    My townsland is Kildalkey. There are eleven families in the townsland and about thirty four people.
    Five houses are thatched and the other six are slated.
    Mrs. Miggin, Kildalkey, Athboy, Co. Meath, Mr. Richard Slevin, Kildalkey, Athboy, Co. Meath can tell stories in English. Mr. Patrick Miggin, Kildalkey, Athboy, Co. Meath, Miss Lizzie Donoghue, Kildalkey, Athboy, Co. Meath has left and has gone to America.
    Long ago there was a saint called Dealta and she founded a church and ever afterwards it was called Cill Dealta (meaning Kildalkey).
    There is a river flowing through Kildalkey called the Turry.
    Four fields from Kildalkey there is a very large wood.
