Travelling Folk
“Elizabeth Carroll and Bridget Regan of Church St. Templemore come around this district...”
Elizabeth Carroll and Bridget Regan of Church St. Templemore come around the district. They are two sisters . Mrs. Elizabeth Carroll used to sell delph and thread, needles and fresh herrings. Mrs Bridget Regan used to mend delph. The way she used to mend the delph was to get an awl and to hole the delph with it and she used to sew it with thin wire or a wax end. - Collector
