  1. Travelling People

    The name of a tinker who travels through this district is Tom Washman. He fixes pots, umbrellas, kettles, candlesticks, pans, puts, solder in cans, and mends locks.
    Another man who hands the tools to him is Jos. Smallman. There are a large number of tinkers around Tullamore. The names of them are Whites, and O'Briens. The number of children in O'Brien's is fifteen. They have a little house somewhere in Tullamore. I don't know where the Whites live in Tullamore.
