    My home is in the village of Prizon, Parish of Balla, Barony of Carra, Co. Mayo. There are fourteen slated houses in it and one thatched one.
    In they year 1920 there was no house in this village except my house and Mr Connolly's.
    There were people in Tavanagh, Parish of Straide in Cregg, Parish of Balla, in Ballymahon, Parish of Balla and in some other places who had poor land and they got new farms here in Prizon.
