   My Home District

   Written by Teresa Grey, Ballinlough 3rd March 38

   I live in the Parish of Moylough, in the townland of Ballinlough, Barony of Fore. There are seven families in this district. The name most common in this townland is Garry and Grey. The houses in Ballinlough are nearly all slated. I live beside a Lake which is called Lough Bawn (White Lake).
   There is another lake near our house. The people call it Lough-glass. There were three or four people drowned in Lough bawn.
