- In the district of Myshall there was about thirty families and about one hundred people. The majority of the people are farmers and the rest labourers. Myshall is called "Maigh-Íseal" in Irish which means "Low Plain". There are two hundred acres of fair good land, and about 15 acres of bogland and about another 15 acres under woodland in the townland. About half of the land is tilled and the rest used as grazing land. There is a river dividing Myshall from Lismaconly, and a great grove of trees divides Baillinascrea and Coolnasheegan from Myshall. There are a lot of old ruins in the townland where the old people lived before the famine years, and then emigrated to America or else-where.(continues on next page)
