He was a weaver. He was the man that (spun) wove my great-grandmothers linen. She spun it and he wove it. My mother has a piece of her linen yet. It is one hundred years old.
There was another man called Layes who was a weaver. He lived in Cloncat. The land he lived in is called "Layes Land". The name remains to this day. He had three looms working.
My great-grandmother's name was Mrs. Doran.
