  1. I live in the townsland of Castlequarter. There are seven families living in the same district. The most common family name in it is Kenny. The houses are all slated.
    There are two old people over seventy years of age living in it. There names are William Kenny and Jim Doyle of Castlequarter
    Some years ago there were more houses in the district than at present. The ruins of some of them are still to be seen. Some of the people went to Australia and America.
