  1. There are no tailors in this district now as formly. A man by the name of Mog Byrne long ago used to come here, and tailor for my Grandfather. He used to get up on the table and sew with his legs crossed. He sewed with a big needle and a thimble with no bottom.
    When the people of this district want any tailoring done they go to Mr "McCormac" of Ashford. He works in his own home only. And more get them made by Miss Saidie Doyle, Ballinastowe, who is said to be a very good dressmaker, and coatmaker.
    My Auntie Isabella who is dead used to make mens' shirts. She used to buy the linen in shops.
