“Mrs Martin Walshe lived in Moyadda, near Kilrush.”
Mrs. Martin Walsh lived in Moyadda, near Kilrush. In the famine days she and her family were badly off. A baby was born to her and while they were all out of the house getting the baby baptised she got out of bed and found a raw turnip which she ate. She lived to be 88 years of age and died in my father's house at Tullagower. She nursed all our family of fifteen members. She knew very little English. We got a good Irish vocabulary from her and lots of Irish prayers.
