- People named Cahill that live beside us, have a cradle. It is made of wood
It is a very old one noe They got the lend of it when the first child was born, as some say it is very lucky to borrow a cradle when the first is born. There are rockers on the bottom of the cradle on each side.
They have a horse shoe nailed to the head of the cradle, to bring good luck to the child.
